I enjoyed this sequel. It was able to maintain a lot of the same positives as the first book and left itself on an interesting cliffhanger that makes me have to read the third whenever it comes out. That said, the whole "will they, won't they" between a couple of the characters got rather overdone for me. At some point, I just checked out if caring if they will or won't. I figure we fill find out in the end. So whatever. But other than that, it had natural and good developments.
