Helpful Score: 2

The second in the series takes you a step deeper. It still has all of the frivolities and unexplained oddities that either endeared someone to it in the first book, or made them put it down without finishing. Do not go into this with any expectations, Let the story trickle out, picking up speed as it goes along. It is not a book that is going to confuse you, or leave you trying to work out twists and turns so complex you almost want to write them down to get them straight. It's straight-forward, simple, and nearly impossible to read in more than five sittings.
The character is tough, and you are privy to all of his questions, doubts, thoughts, and concerns. It's also a interesting to see whom his very name will either terrify or taunt.
A bit transparent, this second one, but I found it did not deter me from finishing it. Indeed, it was the action, the way they reached the resolution, that drove me on. I'm sure if you're considering getting the second one, I don't need to tell you that already. You already know what makes this a crisp, quick, and great read, and if you don't, I suggest you start with the first one. It's a great introduction, and this is a simple, and great, follow-up. I'm sure I'll enjoy the next one, as well!
