There were a lot of different POV chapters that I think ultimately took away from the story and may be why the story felt so slow.
The characters were pretty much the same with some small developments, but not big enough to be excited over. So the plot didn’t really get any better though I wouldn’t say that it got really bad – it was just disappointing for me. There were certain characters that I was excited to read about again in this second installment, but I found myself really disappointed with the lack of action and really anything substantial. Because of that, there parts that were boring or maybe more accurately there were plot lines that were just taking way too long to move forward. And while Herman’s writing was just as good as the first book, I think my ultimate problem is that this book is written for and geared towards a younger audience than I. I only bought and read this second book because the first one sucked me in quickly.
