Ok, I thought that it couldn't get better than the first book. I thought Gould would mess up something and make the story go south.
I was wrong! He didn't mess anything up and this book is even better than the first.

I'm excited to get my hands on the next one!

Very different from the first book. Gone is some of the adventurous spirit, replaced with some taut thriller elements. You can definitely feel the protagonist is an adult this time, rather than a teenager in the last book.

Darker than Jumper.

Just as good as the first, with double the super people, role reversal of hero/damsel in distress, and much more realistic plotlines and cool uses for the powers

I love this author's practical approach to an extraordinary situation. And how he uses logic and a scientific approach to explain the magic. In general, I enjoyed this book more than the first. The first was great in how it showed how a teleport would survive in a world. This one was great in how it showed the limitations and true power a teleport can achieve.

I rescued this book from my daughter's room just after she left for college. A sequel (to Jumper) I rebought after loaning the original to a friend and moving away. An enjoyable reread - I definitely like Millie better than Davy. Both books are much better than the movie which might as well be from an unrelated world.

Great story follow-up to the first book. The bad guys made me so incredibly mad! I really "felt" the story.
