Much better read than the last book! I didn't like being trapped underground for who knows how long. Read in 1 day
Quite some few typos, but the flow is nice. I can't wait to read the next one. The characters are intriguing and while most are found in other books of the sort, there was one I had never heard of before.
I had to give this book 5 starts because even though it was rife with bad grammar, Spelling and misused words I was so caught up in the story I could not put it down and had to immediately move on to the next book when finished.
I'm still reading, and I love the story. Only reason it's not got 5 stars is the proof reading. It's terrible. I've dropped in at book 4, so will have to go back to the beginning (blaming Kobo).
So much better than the last one. We didn't get to far, storywise, but it's picked up and I can't wait to read the next one! Unfortunately, this one does need some fairly serious proofreading.
