Rachel Gillig knocked it out of the park with her sequel to One Dark Window. I did NOT want to stop listening and yet I had to. Absolutely amazing story from an absolutely amazing author and I can't wait to read more from her.

This book exceeded expectations. Great story, interesting plot, unique premise, complicated characters that aren't 2d. Can't wait to read more.

4.5

In-credible. 
I like to think that as a society we could do better than how it happened in the book but I don't think it's possible. I think we are more greedy as a whole and it would take a lot more work to fix the world than  what it did in the book.
