Review title: Only slightly better than the first.
Product review: I just do not understand why everyone thinks these books are so great. I've now read the first two to my daughter, and while she liked the first one, her interest diminished in this second one. I thought that this one would be better than the first, because the first half of the book had a story that seemed to be developing really well. Then they started traveling through space and size and it stopped making sense. There's no explanation as to why Sporos must deepen, or why the teacher is teaching these particular humans, or why the echthroi do what they do. The only thing that's clear is that these particular humans must do something right away or the universe will collapse. Like the first book, there is very little character development and the plot is overly simplistic. Thankfully I've convinced my daughter to switch to the Chronicles of Narnia for our reading time, and I'm hoping she forgets this series so that I don't have to come back to it.
