I quite liked Spiral Hunt, but had a very hard time getting into Wild Hunt<\/em>. I ended up carrying it around in my purse and reading it during lunch for a couple months, but finally buckled down and just finished it.<\/p>\n

It’s not that this was a bad book–it wasn’t. I just didn’t find it nearly as engrossing as I did the first book, and I’m not sure I can put my finger on why.<\/p>\n

Evie is still interesting and complex, but I suspect I found her discover of who she was more interesting than her discover of precisely what her powers can do to be. I was also thrown off by the romance between Evie and Nate. It wasn’t badly done, I just didn’t actually feel like they were really attracted to each other. I felt the concern Evie had for Katie, but never felt like Evie had the same concern for Nate.<\/p>\n

Additionally, I’m not certain Evie is anywhere near powerful enough that some of those wanting to take control in Boston simply wouldn’t squash her like a bug.<\/p>\n

So, it wasn’t a bad book, but it never drew me in the way the first book did.
