I didn't hate it, but also I'm not sure I liked it much. Alex Easton was an interesting character in the first book, and with this installment I feel like there could've been so much MORE bout ka, but it really became a repetition of talking about ka's tinnitus and soldier's pstd, that really I don't think we learned anything new at all. The horror wasn't as eerie as book one, if a bit more on the gore side instead (meh), and it annoyed me that Angus's mustache was personified for over half the book.

Either way it was a quick, easy read and the initial fairytale it draws from is interesting.
