The second and final book picks up right where the first one ended. It’s a bit more action packed than the first one - less family drama and more war. If you enjoyed Pandora’s Star, you’ll definitely enjoy this one too.

Not what I expected
4 stars
Not really what I expected given what I’ve read about it beforehand (ie. that is praises itself to be scientifically correct etc) but it ended up being a good read. I enjoyed it. The book is a 50/50 mix of family trauma and getting swallowed by a whale. The whale plot is kind of entertaining and so is the buildup of it. The family trauma is kind of flat to be honest, but the author manages to ties them together quite nicely.
