At the beginning of the book we discover that 2 years have passed between this book and Resilience.  Regina is now 17.  She continues her journey with constant challenges and meets new allies along the way.

Her character continues to evolve and become more complex without losing what makes Regina special in this new world.

Since reading the first book and finding the fertility technology very interesting and learning more in this book I did a little research of my own.  I found out they are doing this stuff now, which is really quite interesting.

The description of the GODs continues to intrigue me, yet make me cringe at the same time.  I’m not sure I’d want to live 300+ years, would you?

In this book you will find answers to some questions from the first book such as: Why Mo-Mere and Regina’s mom Zola, were kicked out of the federation.  We also find out a bit about Zola Shen’s life on the other side including friends and family.

The ending leaves you with a nice conclusion, yet wondering about the next steps in her journey.  Great job Lance!
