The first book had more depth and story. This was just pure grossness.

Really solid follow-up to the first book. Triana's writing is good, if a little wordy and verging on purple at times. He's also great at crafting characters with interesting layers, and I have to admit I'm still pretty enthralled by the River Man himself.

Grim and bleak, but unfortunately a step down from the original. Check your Content Warnings... it's rough.
