Review1: I actually think this one is a better book than the first. /unpopular opinion :P
The first book was good in its own way, setting up the world and characters and their back stories, but it felt just a little myopic and self-centered (and I feel a bit bad saying that about Jacob, but...yeah. Grieving teenagers are pretty much like that).
The second book is surprisingly much more complex, which just goes to show that YA fiction can be as challenging and profound as any "grownup" book. I r

...

eally love the depth given to the characters we met in the first book, and I especially love the portrayal of kids dealing with wartime survival.
Main plot aside, there is some heavy stuff in here that is very deftly presented and developed in a manner that is still suitable for an adolescent audience.
I guess a lot of readers might find it blah because it's less horror-movie-suspenseful than the first?? I strongly disagree and instead find their desperate travels through two simultaneous wars to be far more interesting. These characters really have to come to grips with the calculus of war, which is just...I mean, how can you say that's boring?
Thought-provoking YA ftw.

Review2:I really, really liked the first book - it was exiting and I just loved the atmosphere, getting to know the Peculiars and stuff. It had a clear structure with a rising arc of suspense and a explicit climax.
The second book indeed started very slowly. It felt like Riggs tried to create some single spreaded points of suspense, between whose the plot chugged along. Lateron, the story arc improved. The plot finally started running, but over all, there were more like seperate points of suspense than a rounded arc. The last 50 pages finally got me. Now I am really curious for the final book.
