'The Exodus Towers' is a middle book in a series, but while it's setting things up for the final book, it's pretty non-stop throughout. One of the things I'm liking about this series, is how I keep thinking I know where it's going, and then it takes a massive twist.

The book mainly focuses on the new builder towers in Brazil (and if you haven't read the first book, this will mean nothing to you, so skip ahead). Skuyler finds a group of immunes like himself, but they have a dark side. There are problems in Australia and on board the space platforms too. And just when it all seems to be going along nicely, they find something in Ireland. I wouldn't dare spoil that, but let's just say the book caps it all off with a crazy cliffhanger ending.

Whew! It's a long book with pretty much non-stop action. Some of it was more interesting than other parts, but the characters are all well defined, so while there are more and more of them, it's easy to keep track of them all. It will be interesting to see how the series gets wrapped up. I've got book three in my to be read pile and I plan on reading it soon.

I was given a review copy of this book by Random House Publishing Group - Del Rey Spectra and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this book.

Really liked this book, but it was long as hell. I could literally feel the years passing with the Skyler and Tania, and it seemed like a bunch of smaller stories integrating into one book. That being said, it was a lot more intense and exciting than the first (which wasn't slow by any means), and I really enjoyed it. But the ending, oh, THE ENDING!!! I almost quit the series, honest to God. I wanted to scream. Seemed like a total dick move that would've infuriated me had the series not continued. Yes, it was a cliffhanger. See how much I love them? NOT.

Fun, not quite as good as the first one in the serious, but enjoyable.

I really like that the US just doesn't feature in this series. No Americans, no locations in the US, etc. It's refreshing.

A solid, mile a minute read. Enjoyed the heck out of the book.

Zwischendrin gab es ein paar Längen und definitiv Beziehungen, die sich nicht so kindisch hätten entwickeln müssen. Da war viel verletzter Stolz dabei, aber immerhin haben die Charaktere das selbst gemerkt.

I really like Skylar. The love triangle is annoying but understandable. Two if the characters have similar names and jobs that it is difficult to tell them apart. This trilogy is like candy, a fun, fast read

The next installment is already in my queue.

The story is moving along. We meet some new characters, both good and bad. People die, guns are shot, space adventures taken. I've read all three books in the series back to back, and I'm finding it hard to remember which events took place in this book specifically, but it did a good job of continuing on with the adventure.

Wow excellent sequel, jumping in the 3rd one right now. Fantastic series, very interesting characters, lots of politics and actions what's not to like. Great book.
