A decent follow up to the first book that ends almost where it began, still trying to defeat the enemy, and now another one. At times, the writing is confusing, but the overall shape of the story is ok. ( )

Really enjoying this series so far. One of the better YA book series I've read in a long time. A great sense of wonder and adventure. Evil is evil in this book and good things are celebrated. ( )

The complexity of this second installment crossed over into convolutedness. Perhaps it was necessary to set the stage for the happenings of the final book in the trilogy, but this one definitely involved some slogging through, unlike [b:The Dragon's Tooth|9848566|The Dragon's Tooth (Ashtown Burials, #1)|N.D.

Can't wait for book 3
