More predictable than the last one. I have a really hard time believing that the main characters are 12. They should be much older, like mid- to late-teens. I'm in love with Ermete though!

Harvey, Elettra, Mistral, and Sheng from [b:Century 1: The Ring of Fire|6261182|Century 1 The Ring of Fire|Pierdomenico Baccalario|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255578175s/6261182.jpg|6444390] are reunited, this time in New York, as they work to solve the mystery of the Star of Stone. Harvey and how his family is coping with the loss of his brother, are the focus of this outing. There are new bad guys, more mysterious notes, and cryptic conversations as the kids works towards a solution.
It might be worthwhile to wait until all the books are out before reading any of them as there are a lot of details to remember in these plot-driven mysteries. Knowledge of the previous book is essential to understanding this title.

Eigenlijk vond ik dit boek 3,5 sterren, maar dat kan niet, dus heb ik het maar afgerond naar boven :)

This book was not as good as the first one and, for my taste, focused too much on a relationship that I felt had no chemistry. Adding to that, the story in this installment dragged on for a while in the middle.
But the beginning and the end were genuinely strong, so I still liked this book, just not as much as the first one.
