The 2nd in the Graveyard Queen struck me as more heavily Gothic in nature than the first, like I was reading Mary Stewart but with 5x the ghosts and tougher consequences. It felt weighty and played on the sadness more than in the first novel, too. Which is not to say I didn't enjoy the read, I did - but not quite as much as the 1st. That may be because the 1st in the series introduced all the characters and everything was fresh and new. Dare I say 'hopeful' in book 1? Amelia Gray's life, if you thought she had problems in book 1, you'll find things get harder in two and wait until you get to 3! Ouch!
