Okay this one is going to be the quick version because frankly I don't have plans to spoil anything- and pretty much anything I tell you about this one is spoilery for Disruption so... let's talk about why I adored this just as much as the first!
- Maggie is just as badass as ever, but she's also a lot more complex. She's grown, and she has all kinds of new self-awareness, and she keeps morphing and changing and it is awesome. It's also quite realistic.
- The secondary characters are even more spectacular. Just when I thought I couldn't love some of them more... I could. And we're introduced to some amazing new characters (or re-meet some, more in depth!) and they add so much to the story! There are a lot of bonds and relationships formed, tested, and redefined throughout this book, and it is really amazing to watch unfold!
- The plot is even more intense than the first! Seriously, I read this (all 448 pages!) in about 4 hours, it was just so addicting, and I knew I couldn't sleep last night until I finished it- I needed to know how it would end.
- Some of the twists blew me away! There were a couple I saw coming (just hunches, really) but even then, it didn't take anything away from the excitement and the feelings that I was having while reading.
- I still shipped the ship- in fact, I shipped it even more.
- I liked how it really connected the plot of the book with current, past, and probably future social issues, and it was quite thought provoking.
Bottom Line: Yes, the sequel is absolutely as strong as the first. In my opinion, it's even stronger. So if you were wondering about the sequel before starting Disruption... well, you needn't worry, Corruption absolutely delivers!
