The second book in the Earthseed series. While I don't believe that the second book is quite at the level of the first book, it's still a good quality book. One reason that I did like the book was that I liked how the book wrapped up the series. I have a great appreciation for the extended length of time in which the book took place under. It was an extended period of time and yet the book still held my interest throughout.
