I thought Vivian vs the Apocalypse was really good but after reading this, the previous book just felt like it was all a big build up to this intense climactic story. This story was so satisfying to read after being left a little puzzled and wanting more after the first one. I like that it mirrors so many current issues of today, especially the conflict between science and faith. Umamyah is a little too virgin Mary for my liking but it draws a nice comparison.
