Really liked the first one. How is the second one? Sort of been avoiding it because of how much I liked the first, and not wanting to be disappointed.

- candiddevmike 5y agoNot OP, but I read both of them too. The second is not as good as the first, got a little too weird (already a weird setup as you can assume from the first book). It's enjoyable but filled with a lot of tropes, compared to the first one which was quite original IMO.
- michaelbarton 5y agoThanks! Appreciate that. I may skip it then.
- bryan0 5y agoYeah I agree with this, it gets more into the sci-fi horror genre which some people might like and others not. I would say though that it’s still a very good book and if you liked the first I would definitely recommend.
- the__alchemist 5y agoMore of what makes the first one good. Def read if you liked the first. Not as good in terms of how attached you get to the characters. The ending of the first was brilliant IMO, and the ending of the second was a bit of a let down. I think it almost would have been better if he left the Chekhov's gun introduced towards the end up to the reader's imagination, instead of going into it explicitly.
- monkeycantype 5y agoI love the second one, it leaps about more, but I really enjoyed the way the ideas of the first book are expanded in multiple strange directions
