An ambitious sequel that purposefully and masterfully refuses to adhere to the beats expected of it. I personally loved all aspects pertaining to the revolution, more so than the science-fiction stuff. The characters are all layered and full of both good and bad surprises. I'm very excited to see where the series goes next!
