Stacia in Progress

"A lot of things have changed." From the way she said it, I knew the changes hadn't been good.Uh, I'm glad someone said it. Because I felt like I'd been thrown into the future without warning. What happened to a sweet little alternate PoV novella with a bunch of lovely Ben moments as he waxed poetic about Janelle? I was expecting more of this...I touched the spot on the desk where her hair had been. Don't judge me.Or perhaps some of this...She was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.To take a line from Ben : Don't judge me! I know that the series is supposed to be an action-packed sci-fi about crazy people who are doing suspicious things, but I was misinformed that this particular installment would be a short story featuring a few scenes from Unraveling as retold from Ben's perspective. And since Ben was more focused on Janelle than Janelle was on Ben (he was following her around for years, after all), I thought this would be a sweet little swoon break before we got back to the action in book 2.BUT NO, I WAS TRICKED. TRICKED, I TELL YOU. What happened, you ask? After the brief book 1 recap scenes, we were immediately thrown into what had transpired after the end of book 1. NO JOKE. Hint : you might not want to skip reading Undone before book 2 comes out. Btw, this ended just as crazy as book 1 did. I wouldn't quite call it cliffhanger hell, but my mind is reeling a little bit.I'm still a fan - of both Ben and the series. After the recent disappointments I've had with the past few sci-fi books I've read, at least this is still a winner for me.
