4.0

Fun second book in the series, end on a cliffhanger to the next book of course. 
The WALYA bot in this book gives me serious Martha Wells murderbot vibes. 
These books are a great step for middle grade readers to step into sci fi, as there aren’t a ton of options in that level. 
Will definitely read the next book when it comes out.
