I read and I write about what I read. Any questions?
Really fun, and engaging sequel. I wasn't sure I would like the change in main characters, but I ended up liking James very much. His sense of humor, and inner strength made him an interesting, and well rounded character. The secondary characters were a varied bunch, and added so much life to the story. I love that magic isn't easy, nor is it a simple solution to all of James's problems. I also love that this series is not about a simple struggle between right and wrong, but about different factions and their differing goals. There is no hard and fast black and white, and I appreciate that. It made it feel much more real to me. I look forward to the next book, and seeing how James and Spencer end up working together (I'm thinking it's going to be intense.)
