![Regeneration (Infiltration Book 2) by [Rogers, Susanna]](https://images-fe.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41YJAFX5RJL._SY346_.jpg)
I wanted so much to be able to rate this book higher, but there’s some parts that just don’t seem to make sense and it took away from the story. I’ll explain more below as there will be some spoilers. Overall the story had a lot of the same feel as the first one, plus some jaw-dropping surprises. We learn even more about the world in the future, build on relationships that began in the first book, and meet some interesting new characters.
** Warning - some spoilers. **
I don’t usually include any spoilers in my reviews, but I feel like I need to explain why I gave this book 3 stars instead of 4 stars. I’ve had other experiences with time travel books and movies, and the way it was handled in this book just didn’t make any sense to me. Here’s the general idea - something happens in Altabena that should have dramatically affected future events. It was mentioned muliple times in the first book how the future could be changed/some people not even exist had Nicola succeeded with her mission. However, something does happen, and Nicola returns to a future that is exactly as it was when she left (except a few months later). No reason is given to explain why nothing has changed. Then a second inconsistency occurs when Nicola goes back to Altabena, but to a slightly earlier time. For it to make sense to me, there should have been 2 Nicolas. However, the original Nicola just happened to be missing that day and then this “later” Nicola shows up halfway through the day. It all just seemed too unbelievable to ignore.
Review
"The second installment was even better than the first book. "
"This story has it all: attacks, explosions, death and destruction. Rogers kept me guessing what was going to happen and how Nicola was going to resolve the many issues thrown her way."
