With Insurrection, Tade has side-stepped the normal serial approach of most multi-volume SF&F, instead rather than lead simply and directly from the previous events he takes different angles here, some of which give another perspective on what we saw in the first book, others moving on the story. In fact when I read the original book I had no idea it was actually going to be a series – it felt very self-contained, although the world Thompson has conjured up was so rich I was very glad to learn he was going to explore it further. So to say I have been looking forward to this second volume is something of an understatement. I’ve been recommending Tade Thompson’s first Rosewater novel since I first read it last autumn, and it went on to feature prominently on my annual Best of the Year list for 2018 books.
