Review: As good as the first book

Like the first book, this book is longer than most, which is good as it is thoroughly enjoyable and I was disappointed when it came to an end. Most of the positive reviews from the first book seem like they would apply equally to this one as well, so I'm not going to repeat them here.The main difference in this book is that there are more viewpoints from which the story is told, and they span many locations. I found this a little distracting as I wanted more of what I considered the primary plot-line on Koban, even though having other viewpoints was necessary to advance the story. Also, this book covered a larger time period, so there was a bit of skipping of intervening time in order to advance the story without bogging down too much.I'm eagerly awaiting the next book in the series, as I think that is where things will get really interesting!
