Generational differences are explored in interesting ways and the characters always ring true. In this sequel, the family dynamic between Malorie, Olympia, and Tom is what propels the story. Doing this will make the experience of Malorie all the fuller and more energizing. I wouldn’t do a full reread, but skim a novel summary just to get yourself up to date. There are some references to past events from Bird Box, and there are recurring characters, so I would at least freshen up on the events of Bird Box before diving into Malorie. I needed to know where Malorie and her children would end up. It had me racing through the pages, asking for answers. This sequel was just as good as Bird Box. Malorie and her children flee, embarking on another pulse thumping adventure to survive. How? Malorie believes the creatures can now touch them, turning them mad. Malorie picks up with our title character and her two children, Tom and Olympia, at the school for the blind that they ended up at during the closing of Bird Box. If you felt the same way, boy is this sequel for you. I felt that the ending of Bird Box was deserved, but a little clean.
