I didn’t like the mystery quite as well in this story as I did the first, mostly because the end felt rushed. We have all this running and hiding and buildup, and then suddenly after the battle all the legal issues are resolved. Really? The legal issues are fixed that quickly? That seems… wrong.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the world-building is still fantastic, as Sarah continues to discover her powers and learn her place in the world she didn’t previously know existed.<\/p>\n
