This one had some slow parts but overall really built up a great ending. Where I felt book 1 lacked a proper ending, this one made me excited for the third (and final) book. I can't wait to pick it up to see where it goes. The idea of the Answer was great but the Specs have always been the most interesting mystery to me. It'll be fun to see how these gray characters deal with situations. No good or bad anymore, just many shades, and very interesting outcomes!
