4.5 stars. Really good, but obviously some of the things that were shocking and surprising in the first one, and made it a 5 star read, are not so surprising here. And I think having been shocked and caught out by the first book, I was expecting more of the same, so less surprised and a bit wary of taking everything for granted in this one!

Really really clever layout again though, particularly towards the end, and a special thank you for the 'leaf on the wind' line :)
