Continuation of the faery saga started in Marr's "Wicked Lovely." I couldn't tell if this would follow the storylines of WL, but it very much does, even though the perspective and primary players have changed. I definitely recommend reading WL first - having all that back knowledge is really helpful for understanding what's going on and the world of IE.
To be honest, for me it lacked the spark of WL. In WL, I loved the edge combined with the faery darkness. In IE, this is no longer new, and the author's added in a rather forced narrative about healing from abuse. Great intent, and it may reach the right kids, but for me it was contrived.
However, I'm not done with the series - I'll put the next on hold. So it wasn't that bad. :)
