This duology will always be everything to me. They are my favorite books of all time. Pax 2 did not disappoint. It lived up to every expectation I had of being able to re-live the emotions I felt with the first book. I cried so hard reading this book. I could not put it down. The story is so perfect. The new characters added made the story so fun. The last book was more of a physical journey but this one was an emotional journey. The ending was so healing and beautiful. I cannot stop thinking about it. I cried for sadness and for happiness. I loved the different setting in the book. This book was perfect. I wanna re-read both already. They are so special to me. I think duologies are the best type of book honestly. They never disappoint. I just cant explain home much i loved this book and both the books together. Pax has baby foxes now! Please read these 2 books.

This started out a little slow, and I was afraid I wouldn't like it as much as the first one, but then it became everything I hoped and more!

I have a hard time reading books with whiny characters, even if they have a right to be. But this story does tug at your heartstrings and offers enough tension to keep you engaged to the end.

Like the first book, i enjoyed some of this book, not all! I did find it sometimes read younger than it should while, at other times, much older. The pax chapters were sometimes drawn out longer than needed, but overall, the story was good and importanting in the messages it's trying to send about clean water!
