Darker than the first book, one wild ride : I am a fan of Lindsay Ellis's video essay work, as well as her first book, so I am not SURPRISED by the fact that I loved this book, but the experience of reading it certainly was more an emotional rollercoaster than I expected. Make sure to read the author's note, which speaks briefly but thoughtfully about depictions of mental health in media, and warns the reader that this is a MUCH darker book than AXIOM'S END. Our cast of characters expands and things start to get weird but fascinating but scary but thought-provoking...there's a lot in there, and I was there for the ride the whole time, from the occasional giggle to some genuinely shocking developments.

Muddled!! : As much as I loved the 1st book Axiom's End, I disliked Truth of the Divine. Way too much political and personal agendas!! Storyline was haphazard and boring at the same time. Everything that made the first book enjoyable was mostly missing here. Too many pseudofacts, too much detailed suffering and angst. and what's with all the name changing?? BOOO!

I needed to read this : This book was the most thorough unpacking of self destructive tendencies I've ever seen in fiction. A few things in it felt way too familiar, there's a disturbingly accurate account of how hard it can be to talk about bad thoughts and feelings. There was also refreshingly honest commentary on how difficult mental help is to access without money.

GREAT Sequel to the first! : REALLY GOOOD. Lindsay Ellis if you are reading this, I just want to say GOOD JOB 👍 I really enjoyed it. You clearly worked hard and it really paid off.

5.0 out of 5 stars from Jason --
Better than the first novel : There’s a change at some point in the book, where we get a second viewpoint character. Similarly, the first book in this series also has a big change, where it switches from mystery to military. This second novel handles the change much better and much less abruptly. It has believable build-up, slow transition to this second viewpoint, and still respects the main.

3.0 out of 5 stars from Jeremy M. Lang --
Liked it but sometimes hard to get through. : The book has an introductory *section* of trigger warnings and, well, I wanted more science fiction and less a deep dive into mental illness, addiction, and abuse.

Way better than the first one : I read Ellis' first book and found it acceptable, but nothing more. It was an interesting setting but the writing and story left something to be desired. Nonetheless, I decided to read the second book in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars from Heather Heath --
Blown Away : Damn this book is... a lot. But in a good way. It gets intense but it never pushes you over the edge, you're always invested enough that no matter how horrible things seem for our protagonist (and holy shit Cora needs some therapy and just maybe a break, poor girl) you're itching to find out how they make it out of this situation. The protagonist can't die (permanently) after all. This book did not make me cry, but it made me think, and that's sometimes better. It made me take a step back and re-evaluate things. and after all was said and done it felt jarring to return to real life, where there are no aliens forcing us to consider these questions, just regular old burocracy. I felt emotionally wrung out, like I too had experienced all of this and returned home after a long journey. I felt the urge to check in on my loved ones and tell them that I love them.

Engaging : It was a difficult and quite emotional read, but I'm glad I completed it. The ending was satisfying without it being a total 180 at the last moment.
