This is an awesome second book.
In YA, I often run into what I like to call middle book syndrome – where the second installment seems to lack enough content for a full story, but without that content, the final third book just wouldn't make sense.

Alexandra really nailed it with this one.
It is action packed, power driven, tense and dark featuring a high-stakes rebellion and political oppression.

Back in 2016 I discovered Alexandra Bracken and I was ensared by her. So shortly after reading Passenger I learned she had a trilogy about kids with psychic abilities, so obviously I had to have it.
I diligently read books one and two, but for reasons unbeknown to me now, I never got around to reading the third book.

What a magnificent tale of loss, grief and ethical uncertainty.

Typically, I'm not a fan of the literary genre, but this one really fascinated me.
This enigmatic, heartfelt journey through the Amazon, being immersed in a different culture while grappling with personal inner turmoil just worked for me.

Now I will also need to explore Bel Canto.

For months, perhaps even years, my mother has been urging me to give Sophia a chance. Now that I finally have, I see that I might have benefited from listening to her sooner.

Not only is Sophia an exceptional writer, creating truly unique and relatable characters, but the topics she explores with such expertise, cleverness and empathy genuinely resonate with one's heart and soul

Sorry to say, but I don't like this one bit.

I found every character to be utterly unlikable. The narrative failed to engage me for the majority of its duration. Furthermore, I felt completely detached from what I interpreted as mere gossip.
