Review: It didn't have the tension nor depth of the first book(THE MAGPIE LORD) but still a good read...

There were a lot of characters in this work. Some of the characters needed more fleshing out. Rather confusing at times keeping everyone straight. The story , itself, didn't have a smooth development . It seemed rough around the edges. There were more sex scenes between our protagonists. I'm not sure it was needed to liven up the story.The relationship between Lucien and Steven was interesting as it moved forward. I especially was taken in by the support of Steven's friends when he risked his professional life to save Lucien's friend. Some parts of the book had the drama and excitement of the first book in this series. Admittedly, some authors are not always as highly successful in writing a sequel. After finishing this work I'm really not too interested in reading further in this series.
