Martin Kopischke reviewed Symbiosis by Nicky Drayden (Escaping Exodus, #2)
This one is bursting at the seams
3 étoiles
In her closing notes, Drayden speaks of what an uphill battle finishing this novel was; sadly, that shows. While her universe of human colonies living parasitically inside vast spacefaring beasts is as wildly and immersingly imaginative as ever, this reprise of Escaping Exodus suffers from halting character arcs, choppy pacing and a deus ex machina resolution that lets whole plot threads dangling.
