Reese and David are different now. Surrounded by a web of conspiracies, Reece feels that she must choose between two worlds.Her choices: David - or Amber? This world - or another? Should they tell the truth, and risk everything?

There's always something happening in Inheritance. Whether it's the main government conspiracy plot, Imria world building, or just Reese dealing with her feelings for David and Amber. I was never bored and didn't want to put this down. The plot does get a whole lot more complicated before anything is resolved, which at times was confusing. There's too many theories and lies thrown out to sort through, and I think for how contrived things got, it wrapped up too neatly. One moment there's a lot of action and "what's going on" moments, and then it's all over and things are peaceful. I would have liked a bit more of the aftermath of the truth coming out.
My absolute favorite part of Inheritance was learning more about the Imria. Of course, we see in detail how their kind of telepathy works in the lessons provided. But we also learn a lot about their relationships and views on gender and sexuality. This basically came about as an info-dump from Amber, but I didn't mind it since it was so fascinating! The Imria are essentially more enlightened than us humans and don't really think and behave in terms of male and female gender. They do have biological sex, but everyone just expresses themselves in however way they want. Their relationships also tend to be different than ours, and Amber actually proposes one of these relationships to Reese which I adored! I thought it was a perfect fit for them, even if that too, was wrapped up a bit quickly. I would love another series that takes place on Kurra, because the Imria are a super interesting species!
I really enjoyed Inheritance. The ending was rushed, and didn't touch on everything as fully as I would have liked, but I still thought it was a good ending.
