Immunity

3.5 stars. I have been picking up and putting down this book for weeks, slowly making my way through until finally I started getting irritated with myself and decided to just sit down and get it off the to be read pile. I’m happy I finally did. Immunity was once again a fun read. I definitely think that Contagion was much better in terms of suspense, but Immunity shone in it’s own right. After a kind of slow start as the action begins to kick in I found myself immersed in the world once again which was both recognisable but totally transformed with most of the book taking place in ships. Speaking of romance, I wasn’t overly fond of the pining between Thea and Coen at times, but it was never dragged out to an unbearable point so I forgive them for that because they were essentially being held hostage. They didn’t have much else to do during that period. And even if I think Nova’s new romance was a bit too easy I’m glad that she has found someone who actually seems to care about her in a meaningful way after the shit show that was Dylan. I also just have a lot of respect for Erin Bowman because she didn't fabricate an easy conclusion to the conflict in this book. She really said to stop this trouble people are going to die, a lot of them and she stuck her guns. Even if there were things I found a little too convenient for the characters I enjoyed the realness of the situation. We also get to find out what happened to Thea’s mother all those years ago which was a little anticlimactic in my opinion. Though beggars can’t be choosers and she was a fun character.

Full review to follow soon!

This book definitely had a different feel to it than Contagion but I thoroughly enjoyed it! Erin did a good job of tying the story up nicely and basically giving me everything I had hoped for!

Full review on my blog, Storied Adventures! This was such a fun wrap up to the duology! I liked Contagion a tad bit better because it was more intense, BUT you get to know the characters a lot more in this book. Oh, I LOVE Thea and Coen together! They have good chemistry.
