This series is fantastic! After reading book one, which left me on a horrible cliffhanger, I immediately picked up book two, and dived into the action, suspense, and mystery!
I wish there were more development on the puzzling enigmas that confront Cal, but that part of the story moves very slowly with very few clues to the mystery of the Ormond Singularity popping up in each book.
The action and danger and adventure, however, moves very quickly! So I guess each book in the series focuses mostly on Cal surviving through a ton of dangerous scenes and bad guys chasing him, and then we get one little clue, one bit of forward motion, with the big picture mystery. That, of course, is a very good way to keep the suspense going in a mystery/adventure series, but the suspense is killing me! I want to know the answers now! Which just shows how great this series is, because I care so much about the outcome.
In this second book, Cal is on his own more, on the run as a fugitive, and he's learning to be more self-sufficient out on the streets. I'm so interested to see his character changing and developing, especially since he goes through times of hope and depression. I love his relationship with his best friend, Boges, and how the two of them joke around and rely on each other. That friendship is such a bright spot in this book!
The mysterious girl, Winter, plays a large role in this book, and it was so interesting getting to know her character, and figuring out what makes her tick. She's another big puzzle for Cal to solve, and we as the reader have to make up our minds too, whether she is trustworthy or hiding something.
I am loving this series, and I can't wait to dive into the next book!
