Wow.. I don't even know where to begin with this book. I loved the first one and this one just dragged for me. I would say it got really good in the last 75 pages.
Lena doesn't know if she is light or dark but she is certain she killed her uncle Macon. That causes her to pull away from Ethan because if she's dark then she'll kill him but if she's light she can't be with him either. She starts hanging with Ridley and a new guy John Breed. We don't really know what John is, his eyes don't tell us anything but Lena is stuck like glue to him.
Meanwhile, Ethan starts working at the library with Marian and a new keeper in training Olivia or Liv for short. Liv is everything Lena isn't, blonde and sweet and uncomplicated. Its easy to be around Liv and with Lena pushing him away and then running away with John and Ridley he figures that he could get to know her better. When Ethan finds out that he's a wayward, basically that means he finds things, he sets off on a journey to find Lena and bring her home. He takes Liv and Link with him through the tunnels and encounters a lot of surprising things down there. I really don't want to tell you because some of the things he learns are what made me keep reading!
Seriously though, this book wasn't horrible it just took so much time of following them through the tunnels and all the twist and turns that they find along the way. Even though I said I was bored I'm looking forward to reading book three.

the first book? amazing.
this one? couldn't stay focused, finished, but it was a hassle. probably won't ever read the third, we'll see.

This one was better than the first and I can see that there is going to have to be a big battle to straighten out the Order of Things. Can't wait to read the final book!

It was an amazing book. Even better than the first one. My imagination was working full time. I really like the ending, because I just wanna to read more, to know more...

I did not enjoy part two of this series. The writing was good and the story still holds my attention but I disliked too many of the characters actions to really enjoy the story.
