That's a shame. I liked the first book quite a bit and was hoping this one would be as good. I'm disappointed that the ending is so retcony since a strong sense of continuity makes a series so much more engaging. I was also hoping to learn more about characters like Lucyfar and Claudia.

It wasn't nearly as good as the first and I admit I was rather disappointed. I felt he asked for waaay too much suspension of disbelief and that it was too all over the place and in places didn't make complete sense.

So, decent but not great. Rather kludged together if you ask me, and too spread out. It would have benefited greatly from some tightening up and focus.
I hope whatever the next one is is better, but I'll go into it with much lower expectations.
