Excellent world building and unique characters spoiled by the end of the second volume (see spoiler comment below)

Sometimes I get sneaky and put a book really close to her while she‘s sleeping. 😆
#NunsInSpace part 2 🙂. I thought this was a great follow up to Sisters of the Vast Black. The Sisters pick up two new passengers at a space station, one a novitiate and the other the blood sister of one of the Sisters.
2 things I love- discovery of a herd of wild live ships and seeing the beginning of an uprising.
It feels pretty weird that Gemma and the others don't reconnect in this book, and as a result it feels odd in general. Although a lot HAPPENS, not a lot happens, in a way... yeah, I'm describing it badly. It feels like a middle book, a biding-time book. Which is not to say there weren't enjoyable aspects, but I definitely didn't love it as much as the first book.
Counting it in for #BookSpinBingo.
I've been on a little bit of a book-buying spree, in self-pity over my exams and how hard they've been. I won't get chance to read much of them before Monday, but maaaaybe I can fit this one in! I'm not sure why I didn't realise a sequel to Sisters of the Vast Black was out when this came out, but I'm looking forward to digging in a little more.
(Haul pic coming once I've got the last book, should be tomorrow, so you can all ooh and ahh. :p)
The sisters find themselves on the run after the events of Phoyongsa III. Picking up a refugee & a new postulant only add to the difficulties they have to deal with.
This feels like a middle book. A too short middle. The big plot isn‘t resolved, only deepened. Our story is split between 2 parties that don‘t reconnect. We get more worldbuilding, more secrets & confusion. This is less philosophical than the first, but still interesting. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
Dentist: Boo!
Advance reader‘s copy of a story of a splinter faction of Catholic nuns in space: Yay!
