I will say that perhaps if I had read Night Marchers and then immediately read Redemption that I would feel differently than I do. But I feel that a mark of a good book and sequel is that it picks up where it left and immediately sucks you back in. I did not get that feeling at all, in fact it took me more than half the book to really get back into it. I honestly felt that Night Marchers and Redemption could have been combined into one book, there was really no need for two separate books. I did like the overall story, I did feel that there was way too much Tristan and things with Kao felt a little contrived. I love Emma and Kai but I could do without Kaylee. While I did love Kaylee and Emma's friendship I could've done without the snarking and shrieking. I understand being happy but seriously it gave Redemption a childish feel to it that Night Marchers didn't have. I didn't really understand why Kaylee even needed to be in the story, she didn't do anything. Overall, I will say it was a good read but I didn't love it the way I did the first book.
