While the first book didn't particularly grip me with its formula, this one was a large step in the right direction and a worthy addition to the Bone canon. Then again, I'm a sucker for just about any book with bears. Between the honey heist and the continued dead squirrel jokes, Sniegoski earned more than one big smile this time around.

This is definitely a cash grab series meant to capitalize off name recognition, and I highly doubt the final book will convince me otherwise.

Jake's Review: I really wish that these books would go back to being graphic novels. There is way too many words and it takes me forever to read it. I like that there is lots of action, but you can show that in a comic book too. Liked how they brought back the bees from the other books and there was some funny stuff too. My favorite character is Joey because he never listens and he falls asleep all the time like me. I don't like Fredrik because he is kinda weird looking (and sounding). If I could change this book I would make it into a graphic novel with lots more action and less talking. I would recommend this book to boys who like to read alot and don't care if there are not any pictures. While I was reading I kept thinking on how hard it would be to fight rat creatures which also kinda scared me too.
Jake's Rating: 5/10
Mom's Review: Well I definitely enjoyed it more than Jake did, but only slightly to be honest. I really think it is extremely well written and interesting but I like Bone for what it was, a fantastic graphic novel. That being said do not let our review taint you, it really it brilliantly done. It is a fast paced (yes Jake, I know you thought it was slow, but that is because you wanted pictures) the characters are interesting and it is hilarious at times. The artistry is top notch which I think is a little why I was disappointed -- I just wanted more of it. I think it would really appeal to the more mature/sophisticated middle grade reader who loves fantasy.

Decent follow-up to the first book. I was hoping for more subtlety, but for the target age group this is a worthy addition to the world of Bone.

In the second volume, the servants of the Natch are closing in on Tom and his friends, as they continue their search for the spark.
The story picked up the pace in this installment. It was a page-turner from beginning to end and the illustrations were spectacular, poster quality even.
Kids and adults alike will enjoy this fantastical adventure. I’m looking forward to the completion of the trilogy.

Not as good as the first, but I got this at a thrift store and found out today that it is SIGNED by Jeff Smith creator of my favorite comics (this one) Bone. So that made my day! Going to take a break and then finish this mini series up!
