While still enjoyable it wasn't as good as the first book in the series. Mainly because of the break down in the relationship between Silver and Jack. The way Jack keeps everything from Silver even though they keep promising to be honest with each other and the way Silver gets angry every time Jack tells her something is getting annoying.
Basically the story goes - Big revelation/bad decision by Jack, Jack doesn't tell Silver, Silver finds out(sometimes from Jack later), Silver is mad and not talking to Jack, Silver forgives Jack and they promise to be honest. New revelation to Jack - doesn't tell Silver, Silver finds out, Silver is mad & not talking to Jack, Jack is sorry Silver forgives him they promise not to keep things from each other. REPEAT. REPEAT. REPEAT. Once or maybe twice would be ok but it is the entire freaking book. ooh I guess it annoyed me more than I realised.
Am hopefully that the third book wont have that pattern.

At the beginning of this book I wasn't as into it as I had been the first book of the series. For probably slightly less than half the book I was somewhat bored. Not enough to not want to read it, but I wasn't exactly excited to pick it up and read either. Somewhere around the middle though it got a lot better very quickly, and I really enjoyed the ending.
Blanca turns out to be quite the interesting character. I'm a little weirded out by her to be completely honest. I was somewhat in the first book, but it just worsened in the second. Isobel and Ian were both interesting new characters that were introduced. Isobel grew on me over the course of the book, but even now that I'm on the third book, I still don't know how I feel about Ian. I didn't really like Isobel's place in the story at first, but I appreciated it a lot more later.
Jack and Silver's relationship got quite frustrating in this book, and that was the main thing that annoyed me for the first half of the book. It didn't bother me as much during the second half, but it felt a bit repetitive. After a while I just wanted to yell at them to stop lying to each other. They'd been through it enough times by then that you'd think they'd have learned. Still, it got better over the course of the book, and by the end it wasn't as frustrating.
Overall, I thought it was a good book even if it was a bit frustrating at times, and I'm really looking forward to finishing the third book and seeing how everything ends!
