J'ai apprécié suffisamment les livres pour achever la série. Cependant ce second tome ne m'a pas laissé une impression durable.

Certainly an improvement over the first book. Jorg does grow as a character and develops some sort of concern for others in his own way and is way less edgy, making it much more easy to sympathize with him. It still follows the same formulae as first book however, with higher stakes and a sprinkle of Katherine's journal entries. If you didn't like first book very well because of how annoying Jorg was, this might be an improvement for you. There's also a 'dog torturing' scene that's pretty gruesome so I would recommend skipping that if it's too much, you will know when.

I have no idea how this trilogy will end at this point but it's been a fantastic (though dark and violent) read so far. I hope book 3 is just as good.
