bewaare of spoilers. 
 Highlights of this book: 
 -Marina/Seven 
 She seemed compassionate and very different from the selfish Four. She was a lot more relatable and a character you wanted to see get strong and not die. Now more than ever I find myself apathetic towards Four's survival. 
 Adelina/Marina plot 
 Their whole story was interesting and a lot more believable than the fanficesque (totally a word) and generic plot of the first book. Their misfortune was also a hellz of a lot more likely than the whole Henri and Four turning up on a new planet and fitting in flawlessly while also becoming super rich computer hacking people who can create false ids blablabla. The whole starving and poor thing makes a lot more sense. 
 Hector 
 Don't know what it says about me, but I like the idea of the town drunk playing a starring role. Plus he came up with some killer quotes that I enjoyed highlighting in my new kindle. "If you ever know a man who tries to drown his sorrows, kindly inform him his sorrows can swim" Now ain't that the truth. 
 Six's Badassery 
 Six is the best part of the book completely for me. She's funny, gets the frickin' job done and boy can she kick ass. While Four is whining about having to move on Dude you're welcome to stay and get killed, she's had this tragic past where she has had to fend for herself and is completely unwhiny about it. You go girl. 
 Weird things I noticed 
 What colour eyes does Six have? Okay now I wouldn't normally give a damn but her eyes at first were described as hazel. Fair enough. But then this happened. "stark hazel eyes that sometimes look blue and sometimes green". Um, dictionary defintion of hazel: A reddish-brown or greenish-brown color, esp. of someone's eyes. 
 So where's this blue coming from...? 
 Later on Marina says she has grey eyes. Can someone just give her a damn eye colour and stick with it please? 
 And now the inevitable DOWNSIDES OF THE BOOK: 
 Four. 
 Do you ever shut up? You are not the self proclaimed king you make yourself out to be. Every idea you have ends up with someone dying or something. Step back and let someone else make the decisions you whiny so and so. Sarah isn't even there and he still annoys the crap out of me, though I love this nugget that he comes out with: 
 "It can't be easy on her, especially since she has no idea where I am, or even if I'm okay.". Ahahaha. You're so conceited. People's lives shockingly don't revolve around you. Though Sarah was so weak hers probably did for the minute and a half attention span she seems to have. 
 Oh and that "connection we have". How's that working out for you? Guh. The only thing the two of them had in common was a lame personality and Aryan blonde hair and blue eyed looks. 
 For a second there John, when you and Six were bantering away, I thought I could tolerate you as a human alien being. But no. That selfish and childish nature couldn't help but shine through now could it? 
 They have no regard for human life 
 We've seen it in the last book and now we see it again. For starters, when their car is bugged, they put that bug on someone elses car. Then they say "Should be an interesting night for that trucker." Yeah, interesting like he might get killed by some Mog whose angry that he's been played. Later on, Four also completely ignores all the human prisoners. Yeah, I get that you have some super special chest to get, but your best friend's dad could have been one of them... Get over yourself. 
 Stupid Names 
 Yeah, I was somewhat willing to tolerate all the dumbass names for stuff in the last book. I finally draw the line. Loricyde. You make up a random ass poison and add Lori to cyde. So god damn freaking smart. 
 The Writing 
 It seemed a little bit better than the last book, but to be fair a ten year old could probably create more complex sentence structures. Annoyingly though, I kept noticing sentences that should have been one sentence have a full stop. And then start the next sentence with "And" completely unnecessarily. See what I did there? ;) 
 In theory I should like this book better than the first one, but Four didn't die and he hasn't learnt a goddamn thing.
