A worthy successor to the first book in the series, this book clearly demonstrates the growing skill of the author, an increasingly interesting and compelling world has been laid beneath the reader's eyes, dripping with the same originality as the first book but further expanded allowing one to delve deeper and greedier into world of Thorn St. Croix,

The world laid out here, is a brilliant combination of our current world combined with our past, along with one of the cornerstones of fantasy, all mixed together by a increasingly skilled author into a post-apocalyptic future, one can't help but become increasingly attached to the central character, and ever more curious about the ever unfolding world around which this book takes place.

If you have read the first book, I whole heartedly recommend you continue in the series with this, you won't be disappointed, if you have not I recommend you read the 1st one prior to this if you wish to understand this book within it's proper context and enjoy it to it's fullest potential. ( )

Thorn is going deeper into troubles and the stakes are higher now. Her powers changes, her enemies shows themselves to be more powerful than known. ( )

2nd book in the series, I simply loved this book. First of all, after all these guys after her, the main character finally ends up well... involved... with one of them. Can't tell you which. I can't wait for the third one to come out and it will be interesting to see if the Seraphs really are angels after all (besides the obvious fact they have feathers). ( )

Another excellent series - I would have given this 9.5 if I used halves in my ratings. Since I don't, it got a 9, but only because, as with the first book, I got a little confused about exactly what was going on in the climax. I can't decide if I love or hate Faith Hunter, as she told a great story, answered some of the questions she had previously raised - and then raised dozens more fascinating and tempting ones I don't have answers too. I want the next one NOW. ( )

And another book I enjoyed. I think it would have been helpful to have more of a refresher about what happened in the last book, particularly the details about her sister. On the other hand, I recognize that's tricky. It's very annoying when reading books in a series in a short time frame and the author keeps repeating basic information (sorry Jim Butcher).

I'm also not sure I understand Audric's comment that mules can't feel passion. I assume that there's something of a sexual relationship between him an Rupert.

I'm still very much enjoying the world and the different take on religion. ( )
