This was a really good sequel to Released.  As I stated in my review for Released, I felt like book 1 was more of a prequel to the series because so much of the time was spent on character development.  Book 2 picked up right where Released left off and had a much more thrilling and enthralling story plot.The plot line follows the struggle a rag-tag group as they search for a lost friend and find new friends along the way.  In the Romani Realms, it's difficult for them to know whether a new encounter is good or bad and considering where they are, it's usually easier to just assume they're bad.  Yet somehow the group manages to find the other pure souls in the Realms.Raven is ever the evil villain who we find out is actually quite a mastermind.  She seems to continuously be one step ahead of the group and I can't wait to find out whether she is still "in control" of the situation through book 3 or if the group has finally managed to escape her clutches.The writing can at times feel a little choppy but this is the author's first series.  She is doing a remarkable job and each book just flows better and better.
