I think I preferred this to the first book in the series. I simply could not put it down. The characters were stronger this time around, having grown from the events of the first book followed by four years alone.
Serenity not has her dignity back and a daughter to raise and is not just the little door mouse that Sebastian left behind four years ago after he saved her. She has spunk now, a vitality and strength that was lacking, for obvious reasons in the first book. This was a great story of overcoming, while still being understanding of the tragic situation she had been in. She still suffers from bouts of dread and fear, common in people suffering from PTSD.
The book as a whole has a great pace and excellent use of secondary characters. It was a really well-thought out sequel.
...and little Elizabeth...What a fun and unusual little girl. I can't wait to see her come in to her own in the next books.
