Oh. That's good to know. I have Blackout to read and didn't realize there was a follow-up book. I've been putting off reading Blackout just because of Connie Willis' writing style. I love her storylines. I just don't like how she repeats herself a million times when new character walks in and needs to be updated on what's going on. Then again, I guess it might be a good strategy for writing for readers who don't sit down and read the whole book in a couple of sittigns.
There's a lot of that. Panicking characters going in circles in their heads and worrying at things they can't control so they go over and over and over their fears. Which is how the inside of one's head works when freaking out, so am torn between thinking "this gets me into the shoes of the heroine" and "o god could this not have been edited." Is a story I plan to reread in a few months, mind you.
(I may need to read it again, though; I read it when it came out and then couldn't get into All Clear at all because I'd forgotten everything that happened.)

Or maybe a double read. I know I didn't track everything on first run through that book.
