I actually purchased this book. This is a sequel to the first Superlatives book. The story introduces a handful of new characters and a whole new world right from the beginning of the story. There is a lot of politics in this with factions vying against one another. My only complaint would be there were times where the narrative moved slower than I'd like it to and the romance was under developed. Those who like more political adventures with meaningful stats this is for you.

The demo kept me entertained, so I paid for the full version, but I sorta regret it. The NPCs are flat and not interesting as friends, much less romances. The story also dragged on a lot, so I began just picking random options about 3/4s in, since I wasn't very invested. This is a stark contrast to how great the first book's NPCs and romances were when I tried it out after finishing this one (I didn't initially realize this is the sequel...I'm unobservant af lol). I'm pretty disappointed.

Well... it's good enough, I suppose, but not as good as I'd have hoped, after the first entry made such a good impression on me. The newer characters aren't as compelling or believable as the last batch were, and I found that the plot is, although interesting enough to keep me reading, nothing to write home about. 4 stars.

great story definitely on par if not slightly above the first my only problem is i missed my powers and didnt like having to rearrange the resonance constantly. also, seeing my team from the first game would have been great didnt see but 2 from last game. please keep future stories more superlative oriented. the conclave was cool but an unnecessary plot point. i think that my character could have handled things as a superlative with his team, but i understand due to the treaty stuff.

Absolutely incredible story and phenomenal writing. Alice Ripley, the author, has become one of my favorite writers now because of this story and prequel, The Superlatives. The stories are engrossing, the writing intelligent and almost reminiscent of Buffy or something Joss Whedon-esque. I only wish the author has a social media presence. Can't wait for more from her!

Not as good as the first chapter. I didn't enjoy the idea of playing the same character, but to abruptly put their past/background on the side (the "interactions" with the previous installment where easter eggs more than anything else). Besides all that, I would play it over and over again. It's one of the best writing I've experienced in a while. Looking forward to a new chapter.
