Even though I really liked the first book I didn't like this one much. It was good don't get me wrong, an interesting read but I wouldn't read it again probably. It was also tragic and quite depressing. I feel hopeless now, thanks. Overall
I liked that Duncan returned and the bits between him and Alia feel like weird fan fiction not gonna lie. Paul's death was quite horrific and the children being born like Alia (adult-babies) is weird and I hoped that it wouldn't happen in this book but I guess not...
After I get over the hopelessness I might read the third one.
