Havoc by Chris Wooding
3.0
A decent sequel/conclusion(?) to [b:Malice|6364017|Malice (Malice, #1)|Chris Wooding|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348080370s/6364017.jpg|6551250], though it seemed to lose most of it's horror vibe and go for straight on action-quest story, which is cool and all, but I was hoping for more of the atmospheric stuff from the first book.
The characters didn't really develop much at all, either, and sometimes annoyed me with their myopia, especially Seth. And there was a new character added which seemed kind of weirdly put into the story. I thought she'd play a larger role, though she did end being kind of important.
Anyway -
I would definitely place this on the lower end of the YA spectrum, maybe even the high end of the MG one. Even when it was being scary it wasn't anything that kids couldn't handle. A decent story, and I'll probably read the continuation, if there ever is one. I've heard there might be, and the story, while wrapped up enough, definitely leaves room for more.
