grav_ityA follow up to last fall's FATE OF FLAMES, Raughley goes back into her SUPREMELY messed up world of chosen ones, government agencies, monsters from other dimensions, and the bizarre intersections of fame. Her world-building remains intricate and fascinating, and while I (personally) long for teamwork, I love how ANTAGONISTIC each of her four chosen ones are. Because destiny chose them, but, like, THEY HAD OTHER PLANS.
Anyway, a LOT goes down in this book, and it's quite dense for an action-adventure story, which was kinda nice, tbh. Raughley lets you think your own way through it, which is cool, and develops the mythology and a breakneck pace that is also oddly comforting.
And then she cliffhangers you real hard at the end, but manages to close off several of the plotlines before she does it, so it's more of a "see you in Book #3!" then, like, evil cackling. It was balanced, is what I am saying.
