Continuation of the first story from the perspective of a construct boy. Humanity is pretty sadly described and throughout there is a decent amount of casual cruelty from the aliens and the people. The book generally made me feel sad.

Talk about a page turner! So much happened in this book in so few pages. I didn’t love Akin, the main character, but his perspective is so unique and thought provoking that I didn’t mind disliking him. An excellent sequel to Dawn, and equally as captivating.
