The second book in this series did what I love so much about the REd Rising series, which is it opened up the world... extremely. In the first book we follow our main character and the humans fighting for their lives against constant alien warfare on a planet called detritus. In book two, we see our main character leave this planet and get to know what is beyond her previous borders. There’s an entire universe out there. A universe with complex politics, alien species, and a whole new cast of characters. This is definitely the most alien focused book i’ve ever read?
I am giving this book three stars, because I kind of missed the previous cast of book one. I still think the writing and characterization of our main character, Spensa, is strong and I liked the newer editions but I missed our crew of Skyward flight. This book had a lot more action sequences in it than the first (so that’s saying something) -- and I find action sequences harder to follow along when reading vs. watching. I will still be continuing the series.
