I started this one right after I received it, but I was in the middle of a book slump & couldn't get in to it. I'm glad I finally came back to it, because it was definitely worth it! I really enjoyed this one. I think I probably enjoyed The Fire Sermon a bit more, but this was a great sequel. I'll anxiously await the third in trilogy coming out in December!

I did enjoy this, but it wasn't as good as the first.

The story didn't progress very quickly, and was mostly a set up for the next book. There was a lot of build up throughout, which ended up finishing in an anticlimactic couple of chapters, and was quickly glossed over to set up the cliffhanger.

Despite that, there were parts that added a new dimension to the story, and I will definitely read the next in the series.

Debiw781 I have this one on my shelves. Sorry it didn't live up to the first one 8y

This book went back and forth between sad and depressing. While there were a couple parts I loved most of it was just sad.... and depressing. It ended well enough but even after finishing the book I was kind of in a blah mood. I am hoping really good things from the last book in the series.

Started book two tonight. I want to glue my eyes open so I can continue reading! I'll probably get a chance to read more at Roman's 3am feeding. 😴😕📚📖

Smangela lol I started nodding off right now and I figured, I'll finish Litsy browsing and read a little more when my Little One wakes up :) I'll probably be up around the same time also reading 👍🏻❤ 8y
Mommamanzi @Smangela he made it to 3:07. I got an extra 7 min sleep haha. Reading time for me. Hope you get a little extra sleep too lol. 8y
Smangela Woo extra sleep is always something to celebrate :) 3:12 over here & hoping he falls back asleep easily haha 8y

Mommamanzi @Smangela, Roman was quick, he fell back asleep nursing. Now let's see if I can transfer him back to his crib without waking him up #momninjastyle. Guess no reading for me. Bittersweet. 8y
Smangela I'm keeping my fingers crossed that happens here too haha! 8y
Smangela Good luck with the transfer ;) hahaha 8y

After thoroughly enjoying book 1 (The Fire Sermon), I was looking forward to reading the sequel. Unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations. I found myself reading it just to get it finished and once I'd reached the end I felt a little unsatisfied. That said, it was easy to read and continued to explore the same issues as book 1, although perhaps not as deeply.

I'm starting to fall out with my library big time. They never have the books I want at the minute. How am I meant to finish Fire Sermon if I can't get hold of Map of Bones like now?! I need to know what happens 😓

Friends are describing this as bleak and it does get grim. However, there were light moments: loyalty, friendship and even tolerance. Okay, not too much. We also get a glimpse at the cause of this dystopian world.

Mommamanzi I'm a little over a third of the way into reading it, it's really sad. I want SOMETHING good to happen. This first book had a good balance but this one I feel is a tad off (so far). 8y

I love this series!!! Desperately waiting for the next instalment. I met the author Francesca Haig at an author event in London and she was brilliant! Really intelligent and thoughtful- I highly recommend!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Just got an email from B&N that I'm getting a credit in the Apple ebook settlement; I got a tidy sum when the publishers paid out in 2014, so now I'm mentally planning out what books I want to get with my moola. This one is at the top of my list, but there are SO MANY things I want! Aaaaack!!!!!!

Nuwanda I'm in a similar boat. It's pretty awesome! 9y
