The good
-
Zoe is a very fun character.
-
Zoe’s relationship with her parents, her friends, and Hickory and Dickory is genuinely touching. There are some very emotional scenes in this story that hit hard.
-
It’s interesting to see the previous book, The Last Colony, retold from a different viewpoint.
The not so good
-
A little bit cheesy / young adult at times.
-
I’m not sure there’s quite enough here for a totally standalone book. I wonder if the beautiful relationships in this story, had they been added to The Last Colony, wouldn’t have made for a single, spectacular book.
