Book 2, if anything, was better than book 1.  The story of Jahrra's childhood continues. Once again, the author does not rush the story and gives us time to watch Jahrra grow up.  Again we see her stumble her way through adolescence and her teen years. And typical of that age, doesn't always make the smartest decisions. But at the same time we see her slowly maturing into the hero she's going to be.  Book 1 was definitely a "young adult" book. However this one has enough troubling and dark scenes that I'm not sure it's appropriate for young children. It certainly kept me up way past my bedtime (and I'm not young any more). I hope the author doesn't delay too long with book 3. I can't wait for the next chapter in the life of Jahrra and Oescienne to continue.  I'm sure we'll be learning more about Jaax. And I really want to know more about Archedenaeh. Which side is she really on?  Will she aid or hinder Jahrra?  This book is definitely worth reading.
