I was really excited to receive an ARC of this book after reading Mickey7 because I absolutely loved it and couldn't wait to continue the story. For me, Antimatter Blues was just a little bit better than Mickey7.

I found that the story moved faster and was more engaging, with stronger world building. I loved getting to know Speaker and learning more about the life on Niflheim. I also found the story a bit more serious while still having some fun silliness to it.

The story felt like it ended well but there was still an opening for a third book if the author is ever inclined to write one.

I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who was a fan of the first one, and to anyone looking for a super readable and fun sci-fi story.

Thanks for much to Netgalley and St Martin's Press for the ARC!
