Cette seconde partie est centrée sur les aventures des héros. Mais, aussi étonnant que cela puisse paraître, elle semble moins intéressante que la première. En effet, l'auteur peine à nous entraîner dans les diverses péripéties contées et seule son inventivité sans limite permet de garder le niveau de la première partie.
Sans conteste, ce livre est bon mais laisse surtout présager de futurs chefs-d’œuvre une fois que l'auteur aura maîtrisé tout son art.
