The growth of Mull's writing is evident as less of the plot hinges on only one character's decisions. However, there's still one character upon whom most of the plot movement relies, at least at the start. The world building continues to be fantastic and the addition of new characters is welcome. I have more hope for the rest of the series than I did after the first book which hinged almost entirely on Seth's repeated immaturity and horrible decisions.
