I really loved the first book in this series, but I didn't find this one as compelling. I was confused at the beginning because of how the timeline had changed after the events of book 1, and at some points I felt like Alice and Jane were acting more in service of the plot than anything else. However, the timeline changes were eventually explained, and I liked the ending. If there is another book in the series I'll probably read it.
