I didn't like this book as much as the first one Even though it was a quick read, it couldn't deter from Jax getting in my nerves most of the book. He just seemed so dumb. He's mad that his his dad sacrificed himself to save Evangeline, because he left him behind. You know, his liege lady that he would also sacrifice himself to save? I'm sorry to break it to you Jax but Evangeline is more important than you. I'm sure it pained him to have to leave you but the fate of the known world was at stake. Suck it up.
It also had been some time since I read Eighth Day so I forgot most of the clan drama. Who is in whose clan. Who hates whom and why. I wish there was a clan chart or something. But Jax's ignorance and recapping was helpful. Sometimes it is good to have a character as clueless as you are.

Nope, decided not to continue with this....not that I disliked it, more that by page 93 I was bored and not interested - at this time - to continue. I'm guessing I'll come back to it sometime in the future, especially if my students read it, so that I can discuss it with them.

Picking up where The Eighth Day left off, Jax, Riley, and Evangeline are in hiding in a remote cabin protected by the Crandalls. The world and the eighth day have survived but the danger is not over yet. The Dulacs (who everyone believes killed Jax's father) have kidnapped Billy, Jax's best friend from Normal life. When Riley disappears into the Eighth Day timeline with Evangeline, Jax takes it upon himself to go and rescue Billy with the help of Tegan and Thomas. At the Dulac stronghold in New York City, Billy learns more about this powerful enemy as well as himself, his family, and his father. An exciting continuation of the epic battle for good and evil started in The Eighth Day. Highly recommended for grades 4-8. Must read the series in order.
