Just like the first, I was carried into a world of magic, revolution, of fear for Camille and her loved ones. I felt her pain, her love, her fear, her sorrow. The end reminded me of the final line of The Great Gatsby:
"Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter—tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And one fine morning——
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
The masochist in me wished it to end at the second to last chapter, the romantic was satisfied with the last. It's worth the read, as is the first.
