I went into this knowing nothing except it had something to do with aliens, and if someone were to ask me to describe this book to them, I wouldn't be able to. The language is so technical I don't even think I'd do it justice, and I don't think there's a way to explain this without either spoiling anything or just straight up explaining the entirety of the plot. And even though I didn't get the kind of aliens I was expecting to get, or as soon, I really enjoyed being submerged in this world.

I do definitely believe this would have impacted me more if I had the context of the time period and the cultural connections that the Chinese would have while reading this, but none of that made me any less interested in this or excited to start the next book.

This was a very boring horror novel. I also hated how Theo and Nellie were written to be frightened, frail, frivolous girls. I don't care that it was published in 1959, I still didn't care for how they were written. But other than that, I was just extremely bored with this and couldn't wait for it to be over.

I didn't much care for the show, either, but I'm glad they changed it because the show was actually good.

This didn't read like poetry at all, and I'm not a Misha Collins fan or a Supernatural fan so any recognition his actual fans would have gotten out of knowing what this was about or what time period in his life this was written about was lost on me and that just seemed to make it worse.

The most exciting part of this was Nate's adventure through the jungle and I was hoping that would be a bigger portion of the book than it was.

All of the hype surrounding this book was earned. I felt things I haven't felt while reading in a while. To the point where I can barely form a thought to give this the review it deserves. This book blew my mind and was beautifully written. It is definitely an all-time favorite and I will be recommending it to all of my friends. 

This was a lot slower than the first book, but I still had a great time listening to it and I do believe it was mostly due to the narrator. He's amazing. I was engaged with the story mostly because I was curious as to where everything was leading, but there wasn't much transition between the characters so it could get a little difficult at times. The existential crisis theme was great. Love things like that in my post-apocalyptic books.

"Wolf girl" this, "wolf girl" that. It got really annoying really fast. She was also super horny? She also kept bringing it up that they were attracted to each other and was being such a brat about everything. Why? It was weird and borderline obsessive and not at all what I wanted when I picked this book up, which is a shame because I'd heard great things about it from people who's opinions I trusted. Just goes to show that not every book will hit the same.

This book did not live up to the first one. I was so excited to be back in this universe (even despite the sexism which is still crazy to me that you'd write an Omegaverse series and make it straight, but whatever), but I was severely let down. I still enjoyed it for the most part, but the excitement and the intrigue I had while reading the first book was simply not there.

For one, the characters were irritating, and not in a "they're just dislikable" way. The way they were written in general was what was irritating. Kiandah was so naïve and gullible and you want me to believe she's 34? She was written the same exact way a teenager in a YA fantasy would be written. She was really childish and meek and it didn't make sense for her to be that way.

Yaron was also written real weird. I'm not going to say too much about him being different between the two books because the first book wasn't about him, and he'd had enough of Adam and Echo's bullshit by the time he left them, so that's whatever. But all of that roaring? All he did was lament on "his heart" and how he broke tradition and how he owns everything and owns Kiandah and blegh. Annoying.

Also, a warning about beastiality would have been nice? I was not prepared to read a beastiality scene.

I really enjoyed the Dom/Sub dynamics in this, though. I liked that it went somewhat out of the box when it comes to Omegaverse (in that it did something different with the the Omega being dominant). I've read several Omegaverse stories where there is an Omega who isn't meek and submissive and doesn't want to be bred and mated and pampered, but this is the first time I've read an Omegaverse where the Omega was actually dominant and I appreciated it.

I'm not too sure if I'll read the next book when it comes out, I'll have to think about it. Now that things have gotten crazy in the end of this one, I might give it a chance to see how finding the rest of the Fallen Omegas go down, but I do miss Echo and Adam and I hope they come back soon.
