I definitely see how formulaic the story is so far, but I did end up enjoying this better than the first book. The pace of this one is faster as we go through three years instead of just one. At the end Kel is just about to turn 14.
Kel has changed a lot physically throughout the book, but mentally she seems just about the same. Since hitting puberty she is noticing her feelings towards men more, and how they act around her. I imagine as she gets older it will be a subject that is brought up more.
I am quite surprised at how many friends, both animal and human, she has. I honestly thought she would have more of a struggle with fitting in, but she's actually popular and well loved. I am glad the author gave her a flaw that comes up often, fear of heights, because otherwise she would be perfect.
