Review 55. Percivious Origins by JJ Cook & AJ Cook
I was sent this book in exchange for an honest review.
The plot of this the 2nd book in the Percivious Trilogy is more science fiction than the 1st book.
I decided to read it ahead of other books on my TBR as I didn't want to forget the events of the first book.
This book was a better fit for my usual choice of reading material.
This book is the prequel to Percivious Insomnia which I read a few days ago.
I absolutely loved this book, it was more of a science fiction story than the previous book and I loved every minute of reading it even though each chapter was from a different character's perspective each time.
In some cases, this book reminded me of Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir with it's plot about interstellar space travel.
I loved the technology used in the space travel and the crew of the ship's plans to colonise another planet.
I will be interested in reading the 3rd book if it continues along the science fiction aspect of this book.

Thank you to the publishers, author and NetGalley for the free copy of this book.
I really like the first book in this series and was looking forward to finally getting around to reading the next one. I wasn't disappointed! Bit of a change in pace but still very interested. Cant wait to see what happens next!
A riviting second in the series. Well written prose with a fast paced plot. If you are a fan of science fiction you will love this series.
Private comments sent to the publisher - thank you for granting me access to a complimentary review copy.
I liked this one, even if I am not big on sci-fi. It gave the 100 vibes, with the "leave the planet and live on a space shift" plot, but soooo much better.
The writing was very good, only thing, sometimes there some terms which were a bit too technical for me, but it was okay, just shows my lack of knowledge of spaceships.
I can say that the beginning was a little slow, and maybe some chapter a bit too short compared to number of POVs in the book, and that gave me a bit of confusion a first. I liked most characters, they are well written and developed.
I enjoyed this book and it's predecessor. Both are good thrillers. I'm surprised I liked this one as well, since this also included another interesting plot that kept me engaged and entertained. I look forward to their future work!
Thanks very much for the free ARC for review!!
