A solid companion to Illuminae, but I didn't find it quite as engaging as the first. I think that this was mostly due to the development of the relationship in this story as compared to the first-- I just found it less realistic and more predictable than the first which I felt stayed pretty true to teenage emotions. Worms weren't quite as interesting as the weird zombie disease, and, more importantly, the worms didn't explore what it means to be human as beautifully as the disease did in the first. I still hung on and loved the format (especially as the text logs were explained to us in a bit more detail), and I will happily and excitedly read the next installment in hopes of seeing these two stories collide.
