Query: First book was good, this one was fair.

I really enjoyed the first book (which you must read before this one to make any sense of it at all), but this book left me pretty flat. It did not continue with the sense of adventure and discovery that the first had. While this book was an interesting read, I'm not sure I would have finished it if I wasn't trapped on a plane at the time. If you liked the first book and don't have anything else from your library pressing, give it a read.
