Something worthwhile, with a taste of heartsickness that one identifies with the series.

4 stars

The second entry in the Fever Crumb Trilogy is a reasonable offering, though it tries to do too much with too little. There's a steady flow of adventure, and while Fever remains a relatively uninteresting character, she gets herself into enough interesting situations that it's all okay. A bit of a mixed plate with her relationship arc, which didn't commit strongly enough to any of the options the writer had available (and which the relationship of book three doesn't nearly come close to sorting out).

Overall, a fair read if you're a fan of the original series.
