When this book arrived and I saw that is was number 2 a series, I thought it was going to be difficult to read since I have not read the first book. However, I was pleasantly surprised that I hardly thought about missing that first book at all. The author did a great job giving a bit of information from the first book to keep the story going, but created another story that stood just fine on its own. The plot was engaging and that characters nicely complicated. A great read and one that I did not want to put down. And now I am bummed I have to wait almost a whole year for the last book in the series to come out.
