Equally as good as Rail Head. I love Philip Reeve's sheer imagination. Amazing series. Looking forward to the 3rd!

3.5 Stars. Not quite as good as the Railhead, but still featuring the same fantastic world-building and marvelous characters that made me love the first book. I have to say I found the ending a bit abrupt and a tad disappointing, but still glad I took the journey.

I want to know what happens, what the world is all about, but so many of the characters are annoying and make stupid decisions that make no sense with what kind of person we are told they are...

10/10 would recommend. It’s been a while since I had read the first book and only really remembered the ending of that one. But the way that Reeve builds his worlds, I wasn’t lost at all. :)

It’s a great world and the technology is well thought out. But the plot seems very samey with the previous book. I’m still looking forward to reading the final book of the series and I do think I’ll miss the characters and the setting

Welp, I'm crying now. This book series has been so beautiful and wonderful so far. I don't know how you can possibly top these two books. Makes me excited for when I can get my hands on the third one.

the expectations were high for this novel after finishing the first book and rather face disappointment, i initially chose not to read this book until my local librarian prompted me into picking up this one. fortunately, i was blown away by how much more of the story was left to tell and the way it was told was something else. a quick and easy read that still brings great reward. loved it :)

I just love this series. I think there were elements of Star Trek TNG with Data/Nova head and making things better for humanity. I really enjoy this whole world in space and the continuation of the first book. It didn't disappoint. Also enjoying the gender diversity and fluidity of the series.
