I liked the second volume, but "The Dazzling Heights" just didn't live up to my expectations.Again we are enveloped in complex teen drama. (That's what we're here for, am I right?) Leda Cole became the villain of volume one, in the end blackmailing the other main characters with vicious malice. But something inexplicable happens in volume two. Leda is stalking and harassing her victims to keep them in line, and exploiting Watt both mentally (via Nadia) and sexually. I found it gross and came to hate her as a character, whereas in "The Thousandth Floor" I had seen her as a very strong, cunning female character whom I admired even if I didn't particularly like her. In "The Dazzling Heights" she is a true villain who can't seem to even speak a civil word to another human being. Which is fine, if that's what the author was aiming for. But spontaneously, without buildup or cause, Leda apologizes to everyone and wants to be friends again (or for the first time, in Rylin's case). Then she becomes very weak-willed and reliant upon Watt for her safety and security. It was very abrupt so I wasn't ready to forgive her, although, surprisingly, all the other characters were. It was too sudden a change for it to make any sense in the plot.A new player is introduced in "The Dazzling Heights": Calliope Brown. I. Loved. Her. (And, if you listen to the audiobook, the narrator, who never changes her voice from character to character, affects a British accent for Calliope and her mother. And it's not half-bad.) Calliope and her mother are con artists who travel the globe, robbing the rich to feed their insatiable need for attention and luxury. Calliope has history with a couple of the characters, which is a surprise to her, and adds drama to the mix. She is also portrayed as a potential love interest for Atlas, giving Avery a run for her money. I found her to be one of the most complex characters in the series to date, and while she is set up to emerge as the series' next lead villain, she's someone I couldn't help but like.I found "The Dazzling Heights" to have some continuity issues that really broke the flow of the story. Characters will engage in an activity and then later it's portrayed that no such thing happened. (For example, Leda and Watt hook up, then later she thinks to herself how she would never go there with him. But...she already did? And there is a time when Leda insists she had one drink, but then Rylin's chapter follows and she reminisces about having just had three drinks with Leda.)The timeline was also very confusing. One minute, Leda is at rehab. The next, she's been home for weeks and has done things that we're just told of, not shown, later on. It was impossible to keep up with the flow of time. It seemed like only three days or so passed, but it was supposedly an entire semester? I'm still lost. For me, I felt this book needed some better editing for continuity.The technology remains an interesting attribute of this sci-fi series, and is probably its strongest facet. I was especially impressed by the portrayal of fimography in the future as holography and enjoyed the way Rylin's relationship with her attractive young professor, Xiayne, developed. The student/teacher trope is a guilty pleasure of mine, though this one had a lot of buildup only to suddenly dive off a cliff with little fanfare. I'm hoping for an addendum in the next volume, but at this rate, I suspect it won't even be mentioned again.There is one thing I have to mention that has been bothering me since the first volume, because it's become a trend in this series. All the minority characters are either villains or get killed off. In recent years there has been a lot of attention on the way TV series tend to kill their lesbian characters (see "bury your gays"), and "The Thousandth Floor" falls right into that pit. And the worst character of all, the drug addict who sexually exploits a guy and blackmails her female friends, is the one specified black character. Young adult (and, really, all) authors should be more aware of what they're doing when they heap all these negative connotations onto their minority characters. Don't bother putting us in your book if your only reason is for the white guy to win and for the straight people to get their happily ever afters. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good sequel *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2017* The Dazzling Heights starts where The Thousandth Floor finishes. Leda, Avery, Rylin, Watt and Mariel are trying to come to terms with Eris' death.I love how the "shared secret" between the four (Leda, Avery, Rylin and Watt) has changed the dynamic between them and how it had affected their lives.I enjoyed this novel more than "The Thousandth Floor" because the characters have grown, they changed their lives, patched rifts and fell in love. McGee has made her characters more believable, I actually want things to work between two of the couples and I want the new character to be given a chance (she didn't choose her lifestyle).A good step up for McGee in her writing and character development and that this is set up for another novel.Three and a half stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ THAT CLIFFHANGER!!! *by T***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2018* "It's always the same isn't it? Here they were, halfway around the world, and yet everyone was stuck in their little loops - engaging in the old tired flirtations, doomed to the same disappointments."THAT CLIFFHANGER!!! How am I supposed to wait until the third book is released, REALLY?!!Everyone's lives are filled with drama, everyone's got a secret, and everyone's blackmailing someone AND I LOVE IT! I find myself craving to learn what the next big thing is that will send everyone spiraling out of control. There is a lot of aftermath from Book 1 but I found that Katharine did a great job creating new character dynamic with the same setting. I have found that I have looked differently at several characters, some I still hate and but new ones I've grown to like. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/45973278-the-dazzling-heights-thousandth-floor-2](https://www.desertcart.in/products/45973278-the-dazzling-heights-thousandth-floor-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
