It would've been helpful to have a cast of characters list at the start of this sequel to No Gods No Monsters. It took a minute to sort out who everyone was and where the last book had left them. Once it got rolling, this was an engaging and thought-provoking look at the increasing tension in a world where monsters are both real and increasingly visible. Also, kind of obsessed with co-ops. I'll definitely read book 3 after that cliffhanger ending.
