Once again, Stevenson knocked it out of the park. The first book was good and had some very complex levels. This was even more intense, picking up where the first left off tidily. Her prose is tight and slick, the exposition is smooth and barely there, and the characters continue on their path of development from the first.And oh, do they ever. I could wax eloquent on how Sarah struggles and develops and screws up; where the first story was Shaun's, this one is definitely hers. I am so relieved to see a love story that is properly messed up and handled in a mature way.I will mention that the pacing is sometimes unpredictable, and that some of the plots can be a bit confusing, but believe me, these faults are very minor and I had to stretch to think of imperfections.Every bit of the amazing atmosphere and the sensory world of the first book is back for round two. I am dying to read the third book. Don't waste your time on sappy, gooey, poorly written stuff; buy this and the first. Now.
