Definitely not a bad book, it was better than the first one. This time there was way more suspense and the book had more originality. Though I disliked the repetitive language and the fact that it was so highly plot-driven. I think there should have been more focus on the characters as individuals and how they interact. Still, I did like it, especially the ending was really entertaining. I have high hopes for the last book!
