An excellent progression, the previous "grunge fantasy" has turned into a "romantic fantasy, steam punk, and pirate" with all of the brilliance and love from the first book. It is,however, a pleasant surprise to read how the love lives develop and reveal themselves between the two main characters; subtle in some ways, endearing in others, and all loving and heartfelt.
I was deeply engrossed in this story, to the point of reading at least 100 pages a day, and am delighted to know I have the next book already on my shelves to read.
