I've rarely read a sequel that's so close to the first book in quality. It doesn't have quite the same magic—the world is bigger and more complicated, but it has the same emotions and the same captivating prose. Beartown was a complete story and didn't need a sequel at all, but this book definitely justified its own existence.
