I really liked this sequel to Dark Game. It's fast and furious, and weaves more of the back story of the universe into the plot. This isn't a story you want to start out with, though. If you're just looking at the series, read the first book first. You'll need to know the story in that one to follow what happens in this one.
Now, I'm not a huge fan of action/fighting scenes. Yes, they're exciting and useful in moving the plot along at times, but if there are two many scenes I find I tend to skip over them after a while. I thought this book had a good mix of fighting action and the slower times. It was just on the edge of a bit too much, but I found I wasn't skipping them. I have to admit that they're choreographed well. Sometimes, you can tell an Author sees the action in his head, but they don't communicate it really well, and it's easy for the reader to lose track of who's doing what to whom, and people seem to have extra limbs once in a while. These scenes were very clear, and I thought very well written. I had no trouble following the fighting action.
I like the characters. They're all interesting, with the hint of complex lives and background history that makes them feel real. We get to know them a little at a time, and I like them. The magic in this universe is interesting, and we get to see how more of it works in this one. I don't want to say too much about it, but the magic as well as the characters were interesting enough to keep me reading. I couldn't wait to see how it was all going to turn out.
On to the third book, as I'm dying to see what happens next.
