Really really enjoyed this second instalment. It was a long wait for it but worth it. I can’t wait to find out what will happen next. I love the deepening of the relationship between Eve and Bram and what they mean to eachother, as well as the revelation that the world isn’t like the illusion Eve was allowed to see. The book was cruel in places, and I couldn’t believe the tasks Michael was led to do. It’s difficult to read about the things people do for a cause they believe in, without knowing what the real cause is. The projectant revelations throughout were astonishing and shocked me. I’d recommend this series to everyone!

It started off really slow and didn’t manage to keep my attention for long. About 100 pages (about 200-300) were absolutely great and I enjoyed reading Michael‘s POV. He turned into a round character, while Eve and Bram remained flat characters. This could be an instance of the classic “second book syndrome” and I’m expecting great things from book 3 to redeem this weak instalment.

The difficult and ever-so slightly boring middle chapter of a trilogy. A lot of set up, a lack of genuine peril, a telegraphed reveal. Not as good as Eve of Man, but it enjoyable to read thanks to the genuinely good prose and empathetic characters.

4 they sure love a cliffhanger some weird predatory ish moments at the beginning I didn’t appreciate but the pace of this book was significantly better than the first one thoroughly enjoyable
