Critical Score: C
Personal Score: C+
This is an improvement on the first book, but it’s still lackluster. I don’t like how heavy the spiritualism is, and the plot is too similar to the first book’s. The first half was pretty strong, but the second half got bogged down in the mythology and an unoriginal series of showdowns.
