This series is so original, both in terms of plot and structure and I really like it. In this second installment, the focus isn't so much on manned space flight, but more so on the journey of Voyager to map the solar system as never before. The action also moves between Mallorca, Algiers, Egypt, Iran, Russia and China as we see the never ending chase between the Trackers and the Kibsu. I thought the relationship between Mia and Lola was really well done and indeed, Lola's character arc was particularly interesting here. I also appreciated a bit more focus on the Trackers and their motivations. The plot here ends on somewhat of a cliffhanger, so I am very intrigued to pick up the finale and will definitely recommend the series so far.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I really enjoy Neuvel's all his ideas are original and feel like plots I've never read before. I enjoyed the first part of this series but this sequel fell a tad short for me.

The daughters perspective felt like a repetition of her mother's moments on the first book, but at the same time that could be what the author is going for. I loved Samuels perspective, I thought that was genius and I would have enjoyed an entire novel from their point of view.

All in all, I'd recommend this to a person who likes space more then full on Science Fiction
