Very much continuing the antimage feel, I enjoyed this nearly as much as the first book. Things get a shade predictable in spots of course, the typical genre feature of someone high above everyone else like a quester made an appearance, and the accents could do with a bit of work.

The highlights were the battles of course, very entertainingly done, and we see a bit more biology as an applied science. All-in-all, a great way to continue the story.
