The Familiar, Volume 2: Into the Forest by Mark Z. Danielewski

4.0

I am beginning to think that the best way to look at this series of books is to view it like a TV series. Volume 1 felt like a pilot, the main characters and locations are introduced and there are plenty of chunks of action to hook the audience. Volume 2, feels like a second episode, it moves at a slower pace, the characters are more fleshed out, but there is still enough plot development to keep the volume going; and, of course, it ends on a cliff-hanger. I am curious as to where this is going and if the author can keep it going at this pace. This is a commitment but so far it has been worth it.
