I hate to say it, but I feel like all the good gut punching lines in this book are quotes from the first book. That said, the action is good and plot resolution seems fairly imminent. So I'm enjoying it, but it's not really blowing my mind or sending me into a love affair.

Thanks for the recap book... now I know where I am and it only took you a page or two.

Wooo... it's been a while since I read the last book, and we're apparently starting with one of the characters I only vaguely remember. Writing is nice so far. Not as mesmerizing as the first, but I'm not sure if that could be pulled off again, or if it's more that you can't have that experience for the first time more than once.
