I liked this about as well as the first book (which is to say, a lot), but was a little disappointed by the antagonists. They didn't seem harsh enough. Anyway, I think this book was better written than the first; I especially enjoyed the changing points of view split up by chapter. #3 is on the to-read list.

My favorite book in the series. I don't often "buy" into love stories in some books... But this one had me. And I found the rest of the book so engaging (the rescue and all that) I could not put it down. Finished it in one day.

Pretty close to perfect for me—lots of twisty surprises, a satisfying conclusion to this installment but it’s obvious the story is not finished.

Finally had time to sit down and finish. Much more happens in this volume than in the previous and I really enjoyed learning more about the world of Gondai. I cannot wait to see where things go after that ending!

Audiobook version. Slightly distracting that different narrators pronounced names differently.

didn;t resonate like the first book. i didn't like the multiple povs that rehash events because they slow down the pace too much.

I really enjoyed this one. It kept me on the edge of my seat pretty much the whole time. There were times when I wanted to throw it across the room, but I think the book has to be pretty good to bring out such an emotional reaction in me. Sometimes I wish the characters were real people so I could tell them off for being so damn stupid.
There were a few things I thought could be improved -, but overall, it was an enjoyable, fast read, with characters I cared about. Looking forward to reading the next one.
