This book is so phenomenal. Due does an excellent job weaving together the storylines of all the different characters. Every moment had me gripped, desperately wanting to know what happened next. This is the first book where I actually started to try to skip a few pages not because I was bored, but because I needed to know what happened next. Each different character has such a clear and distinct voice that simply works for them. Unlike many stories, I had no idea what was going to happen next and no way of guessing. I actually felt fear and desperation along with the characters, as well as joy. I am hooked on Due's writing style, and I hope to read the rest of her works soon. ( )

I liked this sequel fairly well. It delved more deeply into issues of good and evil, power and responsibility. I've been having trouble getting into stories lately so I'm not sure I gave this one as much attention as it deserves. I kept noticing whenever the narrator breathed or took a drink, which I'm not sure I've noticed on other audiobooks. Not a complaint---I actually kind of liked it, in a strange way---just an observation. ( )

Wow this was SO much better than I remembered. I read this when it was released, if memory serves.
This really surpasses the first book. ( )

Really Good. ( )
