The second book picks up at an all time low for our protagonists and continues throughout at a break-neck pace.

On the run from the ancient evil and <spoiler>the rest of the galaxy</spoiler> the Legionnaires flit from sleazy bars, fancy parties, and interstellar battles that they have to shoot and think their ways out of.

The narrative of dedicating a chapter to the viewpoint of a specific protagonist helps us appreciate each of them from their own point of view with the added richness of their thoughts.

In typical YA fashion they try to look amazing while fighting overwhelming odds, keep stupid secrets from each other, act with a lot of hormones, but despite all of that, they're just a very likeable bunch of unlikely heroes.
