Good, but not great.

I read and listened to the first book of this series and completely indulged myself into the story. I loved it. I struggled to keep the same connection with this one though. I, however, decided to listen to the entire book this time and I'm not sure if that obscured the same imagination I had with the first book, or perhaps the story wasn't as captivating. I can't say this was a bad book, but it just didn't grab me like the last one. I'm off to listen to book 3, hopefully that one rekindles the connection I had with the first book.
