This was a great follow-up to Midnight Thief. I was glad to see there was another one, as I felt the first left some open ends that I wanted to see tied up. And this novel did so wonderfully! I really enjoyed reading the further development of all the characters we were introduced to in the first book, particularly the acceptance of each character for their own faults and those of their friends. I liked the larger role Flick played in this book - in fact I think he may have been the secret linchpin character and I think he filled the shoes magnificently. His relations with the Demon Riders, and Adele, were perhaps slightly too scripted, but I sometimes don't mind a happy ending for everyone. Kyra and Tristam played out in a not entirely unexpected way, but it was well written. I would say Kyra's past, and the way things played out there, were also a bit predictable. But again, the author pulled it together smoothly. I particularly liked the way James' story ended and the final favor Kyra owed him with Darylene. All in all, though nothing was out of the blue or fully original, the author did a great job with the sequel - I don;t really think it could have been done much better.
