Instead of being primarily from Connor, Risa, and Lev's POVs, we get the addition of Starkey, Miracolina, Cam, Nelson and a handful of chapters from other minor characters. This may seem like a lot of perspectives to keep track of, but it never gets confusing. It's actually quite necessary to get a feel for all of the havoc taking place, and since the characters spend a lot of time separated from each other. Just like in the first book, everyone is connected in UnWholly so it's not just a jumble of random characters.
I couldn't buy into the world that the author was selling in Unwind, but in UnWholly I can definitely see how something like this could stay in place once it arises. It actually made me feel quite uncomfortable when I noticed that some of the arguments for unwinding make sense. I certainly don't agree with the process as it is, but I also can't condemn it completely since it is helping people. This is a common theme throughout the books, and it's actually something that comes up near the end thanks to some sleuthing by Lev and Connor. I do hope that they find what they're looking for.
UnWholly was another thought provoking addition to this series. It's much more focused on human nature than the first book, but it's no less exciting or engaging. It was interesting to me how something good can end up being really bad, how something seen as bad can actually do good. The gray area is firmly where this book resides.
