While I did enjoy this book more than the first one, I still feel like it was missing something. The characters are extremely interesting and the addition of Thorn, Wolf, and Scarlet kept me entertained through the whole story. While  I did enjoy the direction of the plot in this book  compared to the first in the series, I'm still feeling like the world building is lacking. I would have loved this book so much more if there were more details on the history and technological advancements of the earth since it set in the future. I wish I  knew more about the androids and how the medical field advanced enough to support the creation of cyborgs. I also feel like there could have been more information on the wars and the people on Luna.

I still find myself unsure of whether or not I want to continue this series. If I do it will only be to see everything wraps up, I love the characters and the plot but I just wish I didn't have so many question. It is a fantastic series and it is probably a good choice for others, it just might not be for me.

I was awaiting the second installment of the lunar chronicles with much anticipation but I will not lie and at it was wholly gripping or enthralling. It took a good 60% of the book to finally grip me and the first half made me fall asleep mid-chapter...twice!

The continuation from book 1s character took far too long to be reintroduced and the action could have been far much more ramped up. There was a innate sense of predictability to the majority of the story but all in all it was a decent read.

I did particularly enjoy the interactions and character relationships between Wolf and Scarlet and their story was very compelling and intriguing.

If I'd read this as a teenager I probably would have loved it far more than I did reading it for the first time as an adult.

This book is better than I remembered as a kid. I forgot almost the whole ending. I love that pieces and characters are falling together. I can’t wait to read the next book.
