reasie's review against another edition
2.0
Disappointing. Everything that sent me rushing to buy the sequel to “Alayna to Alayna” - the cool aliens, the main character, the evil villain - are missing from this book! Well, or painfully curtailed. The aliens are hardly on-scene at all and my favorite character is completely without agency.

I really wanted to enjoy this and tried twice to finish it, but I had to give up halfway through as I didn't enjoy the plot or characters enough to want to persevere with it. There's some really interesting concepts about revolution in practice but ultimately I found the setting a little too simplistic to really carry off the vision. I also felt the voices and personalities of the three main POV characters weren't at all developed beyond their politics and love interests, and again the former felt a little too simplistic while the latter just didn't interest me.
A shame as I did enjoy the first book in this series - maybe others will have better luck than me but I'm going to move on and get my visionary fiction kicks elsewhere.
