I loved every second of the first book. So yes I am hoping to read the second one soon too. I want to know more about this AI controlled world. And I also want to know what happens to Kim and Shan and their friends.

I am in the middle of The Prophecy of the Heron, and I absolutely love it. It has the same suspense, fantasy, and humour as The Terms of Service, it is thought-provoking, action-packed, and I really like it. You will not regret reading it (or listening to the audio version), I am sure :)

I think it will be a good read. Hopefully it doesn't spoil the first book, but I don't think it will.

I would love to read The Prophecy of the Heron because I want to know how Kim's story will end. I hope that book will be up to my expectations, but the only way to know is to read it. So, I have no choice. :D

I'm interested in reading the second book of the series, but I'm afraid it won't live up to my expectations. I think I will give it a try anyways and hope for the best :)

I will be reading the Prophecy of the Heron. I enjoyed reading Terms of Service and I would love to find out what happens to Kim and Shan. I also want to find out if they defeat the AI's in the end.

Anyone else?
I always have the same issues when I read books that have sequels. Most times, it's very difficult to find authors that live up to their first books (with the exception of Harry Potter and a few others). However, for this book, I don't think I'm going to read the second part because I just wasn't intrigued enough with the ending of the first. Kim's journey just felt very anticlimactic.

I didn't enjoy Terms of service that much, it was extremely gloomy. So I doubt that I would read The Prophecy of the Heron. I may change my mind though out of curiosity.

Yes indeed, I would love to read the prophecy of Heron, I had a lot of unanswered questions in terms of Services. Who are the Blanks? Would they be an uprising against the Hierarchy and the AI company? I intend to find out.

Already did it! The second book is very different from the first in the way that the word is already explained and Kim starts her life after the trial (which is very different from the previous one). However, the story takes unpredictable twists that I loved. Totally recommend. The first book is more thought-provoking and the second is more action-packed.

I m eager to read the sequel and more eager to know what happened to Kim and Shan. The first book introduced a world of AI maybe the second shows it more prominently.

I would like to have the opportunity to read it, it is on my list of next to read.

I see different opinions here, some say that it is very good, even better than the first, and others think otherwise. When I get to read it, I will unravel this mystery on my own.

I am definitely going to be reading this! I just finished Terms of Service and am recommending it to everyone I know. I loved the book. It also ended on a cliffhanger, so I really want to see what happens to Kim, Shan, and Kimberly. I am too invested to stop here! :lol:
