I love the world that SJM has built and find all the characters loveable. I do feel like this was a step down from the first book as to depth of plot. In the second half the spice level upped quite a bit and I found myself frustrated with the characters because the plot line was on a time crunch and this is really what your focusing on over and over again instead of the missing kid you're desperate to protect?

That said I enjoyed the expansion of the CC world beyond the confines of Lunathion and exploring the impact of the war on the continent. I hope the next book delivers on the highly anticipated plot and probable crossover.
