A good sci-fi young adult book, lots of adventure, teamwork and feelings.

Being back with Ash and her crew was brilliant! While I definitely don’t have space legs, I love jumping to different planets, learning about them and discovering more about the library! Old faces return, new faces join and we see more of the world that Ash is entrusted to look after.

It was a little disorientating 'jumping' between planets with different species, environments, and histories. I can only imagine what it must be like for the characters! I admired the author's creativity in designing all these different worlds. It did make the story a bit disjointed though. But, it did all come together in the end with the journeys being purpuseful for the final chapter/s. I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first in the series, but it was still a fun read.

Slightly better than the first one. Definitely better characters and it was nice to see how they all interacted with each other. The plot would have been better if it had left out the big bad guy and stuck to just exploring the planets and helping the civilisations. The world building is amazing and it’s nice to see how each planet has its own unique system. Overall 4.2, could have been better but all in all a really good book.

Rating: 3.5
This was a fun science fiction duology with a determined protagonist. I liked Ash's relationships with those around her, but did feel like they could have been better developed, and while the plot did keep my interest, I found myself wanting a bit more action and exciting dynamics.
Still, I enjoyed reading both books in this series and will certainly recommend them to YA readers.

Nicely paced sequel to The Infinity Files. There were a few surprises.
It was lovely to catch up with Ash and friends at The Library at the End of the Universe.

i wis there was a book three i loved this series

Representation: N/A
Trigger warnings: Military violence and war themes, gun violence, genocide
Score: Six points out of ten.
After reading a not so good sci-fi book I decided to read this and I was hoping to enjoy this more than the last one but alas it was no better since I found some issues when I first read this and I doubt that I would pick this one up again; I only just realised that this is book two in a duology so I must read the first to clear up some things. It starts off with the main character Ash and some other characters I don't even know anything about, even their names I forgot and she is back at the Library at the End of the Universe awaiting her next mission. That was to go to a planet whose name I don't remember anymore and get some artefact and I'm not even sure how it went, the next three missions are basically the same as the first one and you don't need me to tell you what happened but at least two missions had an interesting twist. One of the objectives was to get something probably to preserve it in the Library at the End of the Universe but the twist was that the planet was going to blow up soon and kill the civilisation living on it which was quite saddening since they couldn't do a thing to stop it and in the end Ash completes her final mission but a huge space battle got in the way but at this point I was so sick and tired of the book I was glad it ended. What a shame.
