My Review
This review may contain spoilers from book 1.
This book carries on where book 1 finished, Max is missing and Megan is desperate to get him back, but Jude is doing everything he can to keep her away and cause as much havoc as possible. With her friends by her side Megan is determined to find her brother and bring him home.
Again this book focuses a lot on religion and faith but I knew it would be there and expected it and in fact I quite liked bits of it. As I said in my review of book 1, I am a Christian and am proud of my faith so I actually found myself becomming quite comfortable with it. If you are not religious then you will probably find these books too pushy and preachy but if you are curious about religion, they are worth trying. It really depends on what or how much you want to believe in.
Most of the characters from book 1 are back including some new ones. The book is told from multiple perspectives, in fact most of the characters get at least one chapter, obviously some like Max, Megan and Seth get more than others but they all feature.
The writing was still a bit 'spectator' like, again I didn't feel like I was 'in' the story, but being told it. You are still very much kept on the outside, you are told what's happening and what the characters are feeling, instead of shown or pulled in by them.
But I did read this book quite quickly and found the plot exciting and adventurous. I found myself routing for the main characters and hoping Max would find his way home and everyone else would make it through too.
I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed this book and had to get book 3 to find out what happens next.
