Review: Better than the first in the series

I actually liked this story better than the first in the series, plot-wise.  The characters feel more substantial, and the writing seems to flow better.  I wasn't a fan of how much backstory was inserted or of the love triangle angle -- it felt a little too much like a teenage boy's fantasy, but it didn't detract from the story that much.  My biggest complaint was that the twists in the plot were telegraphed worse in this book than in the first.  I like my surprises better hidden.
