But I never should’ve worried. It was so easy to get immersed in this story, this galaxy, as if I’d never left. Chambers did such a brilliant job creating this expansive world full of unique alien races and cultures and politics, and I loved every page I spent in it. Although I wish we could’ve spent some time with the crew from the first book, I found myself really liking these characters and invested in their stories. Tak is definitely my favorite, though Blue is a close second, and I like Pepper and Sidra too. No least favorites to be found here.
I’m excited to continue the series!! :)

One of the two timelines is about Jane, an escaped child slave. While the words slave/slavery are never used, it’s easy to tell that that’s what’s happening; she and a bunch of other girls are kept in a factory to work on a strict schedule, and when Jane escapes she’s not aware of what the sky is or that there’s a whole world, a whole galaxy beyond the factory. The child abuse and death tags are tied to this as well. Animal cruelty and death are tagged because Jane is forced to kill and eat wild dogs to survive.ashyouwish's review against another edition
