Inheritance
Inheritance | Malinda Lo
6 posts | 7 read | 9 to read
Reese and David are not normal teens-not since they were adapted with alien DNA by the Imria, an extraterrestrial race that has been secretly visiting Earth for decades. Now everyone is trying to get to them: the government, the Imria, and a mysterious corporation that would do anything for the upper hand against the aliens. Beyond the web of conspiracies, Reese can't reconcile her love for David with her feelings for her ex-girlfriend, Amber, an Imrian. But Reese's choice between two worlds will play a critical role in determining the future of humanity, the Imria's place in it, and the inheritance she and David will bring to the universe. In this gripping sequel to Adaptation, Malinda Lo brings a thoughtful exploration of adolescence, sexuality, and "the other" to a science-fiction thriller that is impossible to put down.

4/5⭐ A solid sequel and conclusion to Adaptation. It's not quite as action-packed, but it flowed very well. I liked the progression of character/relationship development and how Reese dealt with big world-changing issues along with normal teenager issues. Sometimes the love triangle made me roll my eyes, but the solution and how the characters got there was satisfying.

“We humans only have words," Reese said. "Why do you think they're important to us?”

I loved this whole bit! How absolutely chill Amber is about her fathers because it‘s totally normal in her world. 😁

Mehso-so

I'm glad I found out what happens next after Adaptation, but this book didn't thrill me. It split its time between Reese‘s romantic life, and the government conspiracy/who to trust plot, so neither plot was deep or fulfilling. Especially since I really didn't like the romance resolution--solve the love triangle with polyamory because the main character's bi! Even tho there's no suggestion 2 of the 3 want a poly relationship! Overplayed trope. 2/5⛤

RadicalReader @jesstothefuture absolutely beautiful love when libraries collaborate because it makes check outs so simple. Glad there are not many libraries that refuse to help out fellow readers when they don't happen to carry the book you're looking for 7y
