This sequel to The Book of Koli amps up the action and really gives the trilogy some solid movement. In this installment it moves from an okay dystopian to one that really grows some legs and has some clout.

The dual POV was an excellent choice and really adds a lot of complexity, depth, and interest to the story. Spinner's sections were much easier to read and flowed very well. This was a good balance to the chapters from Koli, which continue to be a little more work to get through due to the broken English style. This makes his pieces of the story feel much more choppy, but does fittingly give each character a distinct storytelling style.

The movement in this novel is much faster paced than the first. There is a lot going on and this makes the narrative much more engaging. I am loving the progression of the two stories and I'm excited to see how things round out in the third book.
