I picked up the first book for free after my boyfriend recommended it. Read it through in one sitting and promptly bought the follow up, before he got a chance to, and read it in less than 24hrs. I loved it.I love the depth of human character that Bob brings to the table. Things that were touched on in the first book were explored more deeply in this one and it just gives me that much more respect for Bob as a character. We know he hurt, we know he is still in love with his wife, we know that the loss of his daughter broke him and he hasn't fully recovered from it though he has achieved a working balance. The deft handling of Bob's history, the acknowledgement of it without forcing us to take time out of the plot to relive it, makes the 'perfect day' all that much more touching.One previous reader said the ending of the book seemed a little rushed. I understand that feeling, though for me it came from not wanting the book to end.Once again Tom Andry provides a solid romp through his world of supers with an outstanding mythology, solid characters and just the right amount of emotional drama.
