I loved it.
I liked this entry even better than the first. John was just as well characterized as in the first one, but I had a mind shift.
Once again with the first book, the midpoint supernatural pulled me away, but in retrospect, it shouldn't. It just came off the blue like nothing. In contrast with this book I already knew was I was getting into and it made it more enjoyable. (yes I have updated my review of the first entry)
Now let's talk about the book:
Dann Wells has managed to do an amazing characterization of John Cleaver and somehow manages that empathize with a person incapable of empathizing with other persons, it just blows my mind.
I also found pretty wholesome the transformation John goes through through the book, don't get me wrong, he is messed up, but I feel like he is slowly becoming human. I also liked that we followed directly with the psychological consequences of the ending of the first book. It just leaves me wondering what a dark place will john be at the start of the third book. I just hope he doesn't give into Mr Monster.
All in all, if you liked the first one, especially if you liked John Cleaver as a character, then you should give this one a go.
