I can't believe I have come so late to this trilogy that I only read Part One when Part Two was published.  Here I am now, with this second, unbelievably good book under my belt and tapping my fingers waiting for the third!  The characters we came to know, both good and bad, in Book One are here fleshed out even more and I really came to care about them.  Big Merv's softer side is gorgeous to read and of course, The Pan (we find out his real name!) and Ruth are absolute stars.  Hard to believe, in the face of so much evidence, how thick the Pan is regarding his destiny - the daft lad!This story is really well plotted and I love the fast-action pace of it all.  It's an exciting and engaging tale and I was rather gutted to read that it's going to be 18 months until I can read more.  The ending was a bit of a cliff hanger.  Will my finger-nails stand the test of time?  I can thoroughly recommend this book which combines, a wry, sarcastic humour and some really deep insights into human nature (even though technically all the characters aren't human!)  If you love fantasy, this series is a must.
