This was another good read in the series. It was a little sad at the end knowing that Durga out lived them all. This was a fast read, I couldn't put this book down.

I was given this book for an honest review.
Hmmm wow, this story was definitely something else. That's what I can tell you right from the start. Sadly I had no idea that this was book 2 in a series, so I was little lost on some of the things but not much. This book did include a lot of info from the first book so it looks like I didn't miss out on to much here. Now the characters were very interesting. At times there was a lot going on with them so it would take me a minute to catch up but in the end I got it. Oh lord and poor Char, what that chick had to endure for Jake made her a strong ass woman in my book. I don't think I could name one person that would of been able to do the same in her place. She acted far better than I would have, I would have been a selfish b**ch through the whole thing lol. And oh sweet boy Jake, I just wanted to squeeze him, he really did love her. So sweet, I feel I may need a tissue. And Durga now that child was a little strange and often times ran me in circles. So as you can tell I liked the characters.
Now for the story itself. Like I said this story was something else, and that is probably the best words I can use to describe it. I really did find it interesting, seeing how I haven't read to many stories like this one. I found a few misspelled words and sometimes there were words left out in a sentence. And the writing was very rough and choppy. The story would start flowing along and bam it would just all of a sudden change course or would just stop all of a sudden. Especially close to the end of the chapter, I just felt like there was a lot left off or something. Even though the story was a little rough I still found it enjoyable and like I said I really liked the characters and their crazy lives. So that made it all work for me.

Interesting story where the end of the world (environment disaster, nuclear war etc) heralds the return of the gods. Spiderwork (Apocalypto, #2) is the second book in the series.

This book felt jumpy and rushed, even more than the first one. I would have liked to see more character development, descriptions of the various cities and in-depth conversations between the characters. A lot of the action goes on "off-stage" and those scenes could have improved the flow of the story. I would rate it 3 stars, but the songs Khai sings made me cry and that rarely happens when I read, so I added a star back in.
