This is the second in the Twin-Bred series. I loved the first one! It was a free book on Amazon; I gave it five stars, and immediately bought book number two. I don't like it. Judging by everyone else's reviews, this is all on me. Everyone else loved it, just like they loved the first one. Everyone except me. This science fiction book is set way in the future. The first one was on a planet that humans had colonized and lived on with the native sapient species, the Tofa. There was an experiment, we were learning about the culture of two people, about a whole planet, as well as about individuals. The second book picks right up where we left off, and now we're on a spaceship to try and possibly discover and colonize a new planet. That sounds exciting! And yet, it's mostly just talking. The people on the ground trying to make sense of everything that happened in the project and adjust to normal life again. The people on the ship trying to make sense of who and what they are, now that they are alone, and what their goals are. But it's done so slowly... There's lots of talking, not as much happening. The idea is there but for someone with a short attention span, it dragged. Reading it felt like when you're on a long car or plane ride and you can't get off and it's taking forever. Which means the author is writing well, since that's what essentially is happening to these young people. It's just not for me. If you've read the first one, certainly, try this, and see what you think. If you haven't read the first one - go do it right now! It was great. I could not finish this book and gave up.
