Fabulous improvement from the first book. Characters are more smoothly developed, the writing is tighter and more intense, and the storyline is gripping in a way that the first book lacked.
My only gripe is the time travel plot; but as it's a personal preference (I hate time travel plots in any form, although this one is decent in that it addresses that even the smallest thing can severely impact the future) it doesn't really detract from the book overall. Solid sequel, and I'm excited for the third and final book.
