Second book are tough, and Riggs does a great job with this one. I think I enjoyed the picture pairings even more in this book than his first. While the beginning started a little slow, he kept the story moving, which is sometimes a hit or miss in a second book. I'm excited to see what happens in book three!

There were a few muddled scenes, but it still kept my interest and I kept reading. In fact, I read the whole book in one sitting! :)

I really enjoy Riggs' characters, which is what I think he does best...and I also love that I actually have a face for all of these characters! :) I love the way Riggs executes these "old souls" (pun intended) trapped in the bodies of children/teens. It's such an interesting idea, and I've enjoyed seeing the juxtaposition of their older/younger desires - the tidbits of bickering children paralleled with bickering old people made me smile.

Tidbits:
-I didn't buy that Emma would be so forthright with her past so quickly.
-I like that Jacob is growing in his character some, but at his true nature, he's still an awkward teen. :)
-I love that ordinary people can still have peculiarities about them.

I'm beginning to pick up on some of the themes Riggs is writing about, and I appreciate what he's trying to say. I'll try to write more about those after I finish the third book.
