We experience the same conflict, but with characters that have grown since the first installment. He cleverly (or obviously, take your pick) covers himself for the repetition by virtue of a plot device (you can read it yourself), but it's a little thin. Overall, it's still a very enjoyable read and takes your much deeper into the lore of the world that he's created. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/123219?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
