Review: Book II as good as book I

Jeffrey Poole is a master storyteller. Bakkian Chronicles, Book II - Insurrection picks up as if book I had never ended. Book II is as good if not a little better as the characters are already fully developed in book I. My only complaint is that you have to have read book I to understand much of book II. If I had not already read the first book (and eagerly awaited the second) I could not have understood what was going on. This is why I did not give 5 stars and it is my only complaint. While I already knew the characters and their motivations, someone who just happened across the book and never having read the first would have a very hard time understanding them. Other than that one complaint I was wholeheartedly entertained and thoroughly enjoyed returning to the Bakkian Chronicles.
