I was a bit disappointed with the second volume in the House Wars saga. Having read the 'Hunters' series, as well as the first House Wars book, it was frustrating to once again read a rehash of Jewel's early years even if it was from a slightly different perspective. Well written, and as always, engaging characters, but some of the dialogue is direct cut and paste from at least two other books. Worth reading, but not enough plot or story advancement for my taste. I will still read Book 3.. and 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 if she writes them.. because I love the characters and the world they're in, but.. want more story.
