Review Praise for Inheritance:"The characters are appealing...the alien and political machinations provide menace, a brisk page-turning plot and lots of fun."―Kirkus Reviews"Readers may find Reese...just as memorable as the clever plot and strong world-building that are the strengths of this novel."―The Horn Book"Lo's layers of conspiracy that were so effective in Adaptation continue to surface here, and the development and revelations of what's lurking under the surface of this alien encounter will continue to set readers on edge."―The BulletinPraise for Adaptation:"Suspenseful, girl-powered, contemporary science fiction full of realistically diverse characters making realistic contemporary use of technology- plus hot kissing-make this book hard to resist."―VOYA"...Slot this on the shelf between Cory Doctorow's Little Brother and The X-Files."―Kirkus Reviews"Lo invokes a paranoid X-Files sensibility here, layering conspiracy atop conspiracy and balancing ambitious twists with nuanced relationships that are ultimately as important to the sci-fi plotting as they are to the character development." ―BCCB"Could this be your new paranoid crack?"―io9.com"The sense of play-of allusion, homage, and, forgive the pun, adaptation-with source materials like the typical "YA love triangle" and the conspiracy-SF narrative empire of The X-Files makes this book read almost like a love letter to genre, while it is at the same time clearly having a roaring good time fooling around with the things it's built on."―Tor.com Read more About the Author Malinda Lo is the author of several young adult novels, including Adaptation, Huntress, and Ash, a retelling of the Cinderella story with a lesbian twist, which was a finalist for the William C.

This is a great sequel with the same excellent pacing
This is a great sequel with the same excellent pacing, precise and heartfelt characterization, and thoughtful exploration of gender and sexuality that I remember from the first book. Recommended.

up beat Sci Fi...who knew?
this was an interestingly positive science fiction with a large emphasis on sex. Is this "young adult" ? there are bits of intrigue. Once again , The U.S. government's busy covering up their evil attempts to control...blah blah blah. that said, it was kind of fun to read.

Another amazing novel by Lo
This book is very well written with a plot that makes you keep reading and never stop. I enjoy all of Lo's books and her ability to write books for LGBTQ youth. I believe it is very important that queer young adults be able to read stories about people like themselves. If you want an all encompassing sci-fi novel, I definitely recommend this book.

Fantastic story, great characters
A wonderful story, full of twists and turns and lots and lots of sweetness. Amber Gray is one of my favorite characters in a long while, and Reese isn't far behind.

Good, fun read
I think I preferred Adaptation, but Inheritance is still a solid, fun way to spend a lazy afternoon.

Love the writing style, but the plot felt rushed
I really loved the premise of this book and much of it was very well thought out and realistic. I could see public response to such events unfolding as Lo described them.I was, however, disappointed with the conclusion which felt rushed and over-simplified, for both the conspiracy storyline and the romantic one. I kind of wish it'd been a 3 part series to give her more time to fill it out (well, it kind of is a 3 part series if you count Natural Selection, but that isn't a full length novel).That said, I still wanted more! I love Lo's writing style and the world she created for the Imria (developed in more detailin Natural Selection, but still nicely developed in Inheritance as well) and didn't want the story to end.
