I liked the premise enough to try out the next one, but I thought the actual story was a bit weak. The Russian stereotypes were silly and I thought the true nature of Molly's power was a bit over the top. The clinical writing style mostly worked for me but it made it harder to understand the character in some ways too. How much of all that was biological imperative?
