3.5 Stars 
 I enjoyed this novel quite a bit but if I'm being honest; I went into it as blindly as I did when reading Illuminae so I was expecting a lot more (view spoiler)[Kady and Ezra (hide spoiler)] than what was actually there. So I didn't really get too invested in this one until the last 150 pages or so 
 (view spoiler)[ALSO AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT JUST DOESN'T LIKE HANNA AND NIK AS A SHIP OR???? (hide spoiler)] 
 I did enjoy it but just not as much as Illuminae and quite a few of the "twists" that came up I predicted way before they even happened ((view spoiler)[especially the whole reveal of Jax working for BeiTech the whole time WHICH I TOTALLY GOT HANS FROM FROZEN VIBES BTW (hide spoiler)]) and I didn't find myself AS emotionally attached to this round of characters like I was to those in Illuminae. 
 I do plan on continuing with this series (trilogy? series? Idk), but this sequel, though enjoyable, was a tad underwhelming, in my eyes.
