I liked this better than the first book. Just as beautifully written but this time with a touch of romance, and was the perfect end to the series.

I think the two books should have been one. There was a lot of reintroduction of ideas that could have been avoided, and I think it would have flowed better. It wasn't a bad book, and I really enjoyed the first one, but I don't think there was enough for another whole book.

I really do think this is a wonderful series that's deeply embedded in the culture of its setting and never really appropriates it. The extra sci-fi elements only add to this. I picked up the first book last Christmas when I was in Hawaii myself (so it was realy cool, knowing where half the things were) and I was delighted to find that it wasn't just a regional book, so I read it here in cold Canada.

All the characters are solid and this is a very realistic imagining of what would happen had the power went off. I adore this series. Really.
