Drugi tom zainteresował mnie chyba jeszcze bardziej niż pierwszy. Autor dalej zachwyca opisami tamtych czasów, jak również i opowieściami o tylu postaciach. To nie jest przecież jakaś sensacja, a tyle się dzieje. Nigdy na zbyt długo nie skupiamy się na jednej sprawie, przez co ja już doszłam do wniosku, że te tytuły wcale nie oznaczają, że na tej postaci skupimy się najwięcej. Na duży plus jest dla mnie też to, że Graham nie bał się dodać też dużo smutku. Wszystkich spotyka szczęście i nieszczęście, co dodaje realizmu.
A great follow-up to the first book. I still love Graham's style, sparse and straightforward most of the time, with surprising moments of emotion and insight woven throughout. On to the next!

Just wasn't in the mood and had to take it back to the library
Another good read about life and love in a Cornish Mining town. It ends on a sad note but it is a string that has been tied up in a bow. Onto the next.
This second book in the Poldark series definitely lived up to the first book (if not surpassed it)!
Having seen the first two seasons of the new BBC/PBS television show, it appears that the second season was based on both the second and third books in the series? One would think that there would then be less action in the book, however, this really allowed the book to delve deeper into the characters, their actions, and the consequences therein. For how much of an emotional roller coaster the second season of the TV series was, the book seemed darker and more gritty, which I loved!! Cannot wait to read the next book in series.

Trigger warnings - death of a child
I felt this book dragged on more so than the first one but the characters and their relationships were still topnotch and engaging. I am glad I am finally continuing on with this series and I am excited for book 3.

I am having a great time, and Julia's death still really got me.
