More action sequences in this one--fire fights, battles, bombs--as we follow the rebel forces doing battle against the System. But Supernova continues the intense characterizations, the powerful interplay between motivations and personalities, not only between Constance and those around her, but also with Ananke and Althea. (Great technique of mirroring by Higgins.) I can't wait for the third one.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Richard RomanSuper fast shipping. :) Product is as expected.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I enjoyed this bookBy MeganI enjoyed this book, but I didn't love it, not like I loved Lightless. The reason why is immediately clear; Ivan. Or rather, the lack thereof. The strength of his character propelled Lightless along, and he and Mattie's friendship was a source of warmth. Without it, Supernova is a bleak and grey affair.Constance, who takes over Ivan's screen time, is a humourless woman and barely believable as the leader of a revolution. She lacks the charisma one would expect a leader to have, and spends the whole book reacting to events instead of taking control.I did very much enjoy the flashback scenes. It was interesting to see the events Ivan described in Lightless through Constance's eyes, and to see more of he and Mattie on screen together. The prose also was lovely, and despite my criticisms here I really did enjoy this book. I hope Radiant comes closer to the perfection that was Lightless, which I guess is another way of saying please more Ivan and Mattie.
