Keeps the story going
With the characters from the first book and a few new ones the story develops into a battle between fanatics. The theme being you can't trust warmongers - on any side.

This author is brilliant.
The second book in the trilogy is as fast paced and exciting as the first. There are plenty of twists and turns and sometimes your not sure who should be trusted. I can't wait to start the third and final book. Keep them coming Patrick. Such unusual, thought provoking stories.

Book great listen
This book was spoilt by the new IOS update which made the audible app crash and freeze. Several uninstalls and reinstall of the app were needed to enable continued listening.

Fantastic
Honestly Probably one of the best ways to continue an already fantastic story absolute masterpiece, it was read so well and Humphreys voice just made the story become even more alive with the right vocal inflictions and slight accent changes in all the right places.

So much fun to listen to. a wonderful universe built by Patrick Ness. i just know the film will never live up to this.
i will be buying this trilogy for my kids to read! (sitting on the shelves along side HP, Darren Shan, Demonata and LoTR)

A stronger book than the first
A better book than the first with more characters and plot lines. More suitable for older teenagers.
