I really loved the first book when I read it last year, but sadly this one didn’t blew me away.
I do think Silvera’s language is quite easy which is something I liked last time, but now it just felt flat (?). I think the characters speech and actions feels unreal, but I do really like the plot and the thing with one of them dying.
I just had higher expectations and they weren’t meet.
I have both books from “the infinity son” which I’m planning to read but be will see.
Took me 9 hours and 48 minutes
