The story of Olivia and Joshua continues with this action-packed sequel.
Silver does a great job of pulling the reader into the story once again. There is suspense and turmoil from the first page, making this book hard to put down. And although it isn't long, there is quite a bit of detail to process.
My favorite part is the incorporation of the story of the Moirai, or the Fates. The question of whether different choices lead to different outcomes or if we are fated for the same thing regardless of our decisions arises several times throughout the book. Is Olivia's fate truly to be the medical miracle everyone wants her to be? Or is it just a projection on her by those who want a symbol for the reason that they fight?
The dialog rings true and the reader can really feel the emotion of Olivia, who narrates this tale. The way Silver writes is strong, well-paced, and full of energy.
There are a few new characters introduced, and some brought back from Aberrant, who mesh well with the rest of the characters. Tension is felt with some; trust is kindled with others.
I am looking forward to the next installment!
