A solid follow-up to Sleeping Giants. The stakes are a lot higher in this book, as is the body count. It's darker than the first installment, and a few fan favorites don't make it to the end. Wondering how this will impact the third and final book in the series. 
 Feeling a bit ambivalent about the ending. Wishing there was a bit for set-up for book three. 
 Still, it's a fast paced read with alien robots. What's not to like?
