Ultimately book 1 and 2 have all just been preparation for book 3 where I hope something will actually happen! Frustrating because I am now hooked so had to read them...

A wonderful sequel that manages to be better than the first in the series.

Interesting interpretations of religion undermined by very strong puritan, gendered, heterosexual values on FULL display.

This is a great read! The characters are well-rounded and interesting, and the whole Prospero family band of adventurers, quirky as they are, are likeable and sympathetic in their various ways--especially the heroine Miranda. I had trouble putting this book down! Can't wait to read the sequel.

Well, I was right about the writing improving with the second book. I was much less distracted by the useless exclamation points. Thank you for that. Miranda continues the search for her father, who she now knows is actually in hell. I like all the other literary references in these books, and Lamplighter's description of hell is pretty impressive. Highly enjoyable fantasy.
