The last 30 minutes truly sent me for a loop, I mean audibly gasped while I was listening on audio. Even if you aren’t a huge audiobook listener I find that this series is incredible on audio. And I cannot wait to start book 3. This is my second time reading one and two, because I started reading back when only book 1 was out. It was just as heartwarming, and funny as th first time around.

Akide being that type of villian truly was shocking to me. I was under the impression since the first book that someone on Genesis was definitely sus, or somehow in touch with Mansfield or earth in some capacity. But I found it alarming that Akide was too afraid to do anything except sacrifice Abel and destroy the gate, as opposed to trying to truly find/build a rebellion with all the other ppl earth has done dirty. I’m definitely upset, but with Mansfield not getting Noemi or Abel, they had to still leave us with a sting.
