It was good, but not quite as good as the first one. I think this falls into the teenage fantasy series trap of needing to just get us through to the next one, but is a little slow because the first and last books get all the action. In that regard, the action plot, I think the authors did do a great job moving the story along. Also, I loved the introduction of Liv as a character. However, the teen angst love story was what frustrated me. It always happens that when the characters get together at the end of the first book, the second one will have somthing that tears them apart...in this case pretty shallow teen jealousy (granted the characters are teens) and sort of falling for other people because their soulmate "just doesn't get them." My frustration is always that "soulmates" shouldn't let go quite so easily. However, all in all I did enjoy the book and I do plan to read the next one.
