Eve finally has the freedom she has wanted for so long, and with Bram she has the love. But both come at a price. In this dangerous new world beyond the Tower, the regime is only ever one step behind. And, together with the desperate rebel group fighting against them, Eve has found herself in more danger than she ever could have imagined. The Freevers - calling for revolution - claim they'll protect her. But is she swapping one prison for another? Tom also writes the incredibly successful Who's in Your Book? picture-book series and is one half of the author duo behind the Dinosaur that Pooped picture-book series too, which has sold over 1.5 million copies. The plot develops in such a complex and wonderful way. I really enjoyed seeing the authors expand on the plot that they had already built the foundations for. It has been developed so well and in a way that has definitely satisfied the questions that I had from the previous book. I will say, this isn't a spoiler, that one of the worlds in particular that we are introduced to I would have liked to know a little bit more so I could put part of the plot into a little bit more perspective. However, I suppose that is something that I am going to have to wait for in the next book as I believe it is going to be featured greatly. I did enjoy this though. The Christmasaurus is currently being developed by The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey into an animated, feature-length movie with original songs written by Tom.

Tom's books have been translated into thirty-nine languages, and to date he has sold over 5 million copies of his books in the UK alone.

We jump right in where the first book ended. It’s full of action and is a little more grown up than book one. A bit like the later books of Harry Potter here the characters start to show who they really are and not all of them have Eve’s best interests at heart. Den ersten Teil der Reihe habe ich geliebt und er war ein Highlight für mich, umso mehr habe ich mich auf den zweiten Teil der Trilogie gefreut. Die Geschichte um Eve geht genau da weiter, wo sie aufgehört hat. Doch wir bekommen noch einen weiteren Erzähler in dieser Geschichte hinzu. The story was unexpectedly more predictable than I’d hoped, with the twists seeming obvious, however the EPO’s true purpose is increasingly exposed, which brings some satisfaction and there is plenty of heroism and drama. It ends on another cliffhanger, so be prepared to wait patiently for book 3 which I believe isn’t due until 2023?

In this dangerous new world beyond the Tower, the regime are only ever one step behind. And together with the desperate rebel group fighting against them, Eve has found herself in more danger than she ever could have imagined. The ending was unexpected but also expected, like I thought it would happen earlier in the book, but then as I was reading it I was so focused on the place they were in and what on earth was going on there that I was like oh my gosh what if this other thing happened- I was terrified. Thankfully, the second thing didn’t happen because if it did I would not know how to cope.For the last 16 years, Eve has been a prisoner. Guarded by the Mothers. Trapped by her fate. Watched by the world. I love the characters in this book, those characters that we learnt to love in Eve of Man return. The stakes are higher, but the character development continues. I didn't think I could love these characters anymore than I already did, especially Bram and Eve but oh my god I love them so much more now. They are such complex, wonderful, strong, loveable characters and I just want more and more from them please! Eve and Bram just feel like completely different characters (and I don't mean in a development kind of way, although they did develop. Just not in the way I hoped), the writing felt different to the first one and I don't particularly care for the new POV (Michael). I understand the reasoning for adding the new POV as we need someone in the EPO to help us follow what's happening there but uggh. I think I stopped caring. Gi and Tom manage to write so perfectly together. If you didn’t know there were two authors then you wouldn’t be able to tell. The story just flows.
