Natural Selection by Malinda Lo

3.0

3.75 Stars. I loved this short addition to the Adaptation series. While the plot was simpler than that of the novels, the characterization felt stronger. I came to know Amber in a way I never completely got to know Reese in the novels and I wish more characters could have gotten the same fleshing out that she did in this novella. Besides characterization, I also appreciated the nods to the novels and also what I viewed as nods to issues the characters in the novels - particularly Reese, Amber, and David - might have to deal with in the years after Inheritance. My only qualm with this novella was that the writing felt weak in some places.
