3.5
“This book had a lot more implicit philosophy and themes, whereas the first was a great deal more explicit. The Lazarus Effect is also a lot more reflective of the real world, even after 40+ since its original printing. The continued themes of bigotry, the divine, and who and what are humans are all explored, though it wasn't until the very end of the book that I understood why it's called The Lazarus Effect. The kelp is amazing, and Vata is honestly kind of terrifying.”MemorableOriginalStrong relationshipsEpic scopeGripping/excitingSteady pacingAtmosphericEvocative imageryFuturisticImmersive world-buildingOtherworldlyUnique locationVivid descriptionsBeautifully-writtenDescriptiveTakes getting used toAbleismAbuseChild lossGriefMurderReligious intoleranceSubstance abuseViolenceWar violence
“I have not enjoyed this series thus far and really struggled to finish this. The characters are not memorable and the setting has so much potential but just feels gibberishy.
I’ve spent enough time reading these things that I’ll have to finish the next book but really, this was not enjoyable and was just a slog to finish. Not my favorite book.”
