I really enjoyed the first book in this series. However, in this one, the characters seem to change drastically. Stoker becomes a prude, with more of a sidekick role.  Veronica mentions experiences that she has had (including shipwrecks, cannibalism, and even killing someone) that seem much more intense than alluded to in the first book.  She becomes an unlikable know-it-all who has apparently experienced everything there is to experience and is perfect at it all.
