There were moments where I really enjoyed this book. But it was really disjointed and didn’t make a lot of sense a majority of the time. I appreciate the world building and maybe the first book would have helped a bit. But don’t give me a mystery and resolve literally NONE of it. Cliffhangers are fine but you need to resolve something in the story to give readers a sense of closure. There was nothing satisfactory in the ending nor the continuation. It didn’t give me a reason to want to continue to another book if there is one. I wanted to like this, since I enjoy sci-fi and fantasy. But this just didn’t do it.

This book is a wild sci-fi adventure that’s both quirky and thrilling. Alice Pemberton, a 19-year-old genius, dives into a galaxy-wide conspiracy involving aliens, ghosts, and a mysterious death particle. With plenty of twists and a touch of humor, the story kept me hooked, even if some parts felt a bit over-the-top. It’s a fun, fast-paced read for anyone who loves a mix of noir and sci-fi absurdity. Overall, a solid 3 stars

I was hooked from the first book in the McGilliverse series and this had that charm in the genre. The plot worked with what I was looking for and enjoyed getting back into this world. It had that humor and scifi element that I wanted and thought George Allen Miller wrote this perfectly.

Alice Pemberton's Bureau of Scientific Inquiry is a super fun, fast-paced sci-fi adventure with awesome world-building and quirky characters—it’s one of those reads you just fly through and love every minute of.

I really enjoyed reading this! A perfect second installment to the series! The world-building and characters are something to be praised of! Overall, it was nice and smooth light read.
