I found that interesting, more like fascinating. Multiple characters are tough for one voice, and often this becomes a problem for authors/narrators working with large teams of actors in one military scene, but these three narrators together didn't feel like three different people. Separatism spells death for all, and all that. This is the ultimate answer for the survival of humankind, after all. just working within our talents, gifts, and dreams-as a team. Her presentation of this relationship is just as seamless as everything else about her books, as if everything is normal and we should expect to live this accepting and.

Another great writing trick of AJ's is writing about poly relationships and not making you squirm in discomfort. Equality at last, in a very diverse personality way. That's tricky to pull off when conflict makes the story. He's the type of character who makes a lot of bad life choices because he's such a hothead, but that only endangers people who are weak-and none of these people are weak. Everyone gets to play and everyone has strengths, except this villain-who makes a fool of himself. AJ made that all disappear in this book by keeping true to all of her characters-and not making it about only 2 people. I'm always a little reticent about the second book in a series, especially when I enjoyed the first book so much, but I liked this storyline-and I usually don't always like this particular storyline (ex involvement).

Love the MCs, great followup, seamless performance
