I was really excited to see that we were going to get a continuation of Adunni's story after loving The Girl with the Louding Voice so much. Unfortunately, this one just fell a little flat and required a little more suspending of reality to make it to the end. The ending itself was so similar to the ending of Jurassic Park 3 that I had a really hard time getting through it. That might be a little harsh because at least the ending to this book was slightly plausible unlike that movie.

I felt like the story was torn too much between the stories of Tia and Adunni and it caused both story lines to really drag out. Some more spacing between the chapters to spend in the individual stories for a longer period may have helped this book out more.

Once Tia and Adunni's stories finally intersect again, the plot takes off and everything starts to happen in quick succession which caused it to feel rushed. I still was glad to find out why it is that Tia attatched herself to Adunni so quickly and readily, and it was a good idea to not have Adunni just have a happily ever after with a murder "charge" hanging over her head for her whole life. It was just too much of a slow burn because of the chapter timing.
