I enjoyed Christopher's voice much more than David's. I think I'll like Jahlil's even more. These books are a nostalgia read for me. And although I enjoyed this one, the writing still isn't what I wished it could be. That said, this book is loads better than the first one. I think I've read the first three in this series when I was in the 6th grade. I'm going to read the whole series now. I'm more excited for it after reading this book than I was after reading the first.
There are some seemingly random things about Everworld that I feel could be better pieced together. But I suppose we are experiencing it in this way because our protagonists don't know how the pieces fit. I'm still curious as to what this series would be like if each book had an extra hundred pages or so to really flesh out the details and characters. It's an excellent plot. I've simply been spoiled by YA writers of the past two decades.
