" I loved loved the first book, and while this was a decent follow-up, I got the feeling Cabot was stretching the story. The cast of characters was too big for this shorter sequel, and the ending never really felt resolved to me. I love the character of Alaric, and he came off as somewhat anemic in this one. But as I am an Alaric fan, I was very happy with the way Cabot wrapped his and Meena's story arc. I just wish he'd gotten more of a spotlight. Meena's brother Jon got a lot more attention in this volume of the positive type- his character really shined. If this had been the first book in the series, I would have been disappointed, but as a sequel it's adequate. "
