It's a hit and a miss with this one for me. A rollercoaster ride, but not as thrilling, just ups and downs ridden without too much excitement attached to it.
The first book made me restless and impatient, thinking, okay already aren't we done with all these introductions yet? Though, intriguing enough to want to read on.
The second book it did eventually come together. I guess like a spider's web, the outer lines more spaciously woven and coming more and more to the center of the web, the threads follow up more closely and packed together.
This packing of the threads did make the stories that did not follow the trail fall out of tune even more. And with that I did get more and more annoyed by the over the top morals and the fact that these where written in a childlike manner didn't help.
I find that I would have loved it more if it was written more as a whole, not a honeycomb of woven stories, single planets 'loosely' connected. I would have loved to immerse myself into the whole of all worlds. More emphasis on world building, less on moral.
Overall, I did enjoy this, and yes the moral of the book as a whole can be a bit much, I do appreciate it. Even more so having read the thanks at the end of the book. It put things into perspective knowing the origin story of this book and the choices made seem logical knowing this.
So. I, for now, land on a 3,45 stars... maybe more. We'll see if I change it in the future.
