Escaping Exodus: Symbiosis by Nicky Drayden

This was not what I had hoped. I love the world building and base consept, but the main characters complete disregard to any kind of sense and care for consequenses got on my nerves. Doka somehow seemed like he had lost half of his sense from the last book, and I didnt like losing Adalla's POV. Seska just never learns anything from all her reclessness, and kept steaming ahead. The tempo was higher, but in the form of crisis after crisis after crisis, where they stopped holding much meaning at all, cause we lost sight of them three crises down the road. 

I love, love, love the world and the absurdity and creativity behind it all. I like how it challenges societal and structural normes. I even like that this society has a matriarchy that isnt all flowers and swooshy dresses and girlbosses, but complex and fucked up in their own way and choises. I just wanted to read this story from someone elses POV.
