After the fragmented nature of volume 1, this time we have a consistent story that all fits together. It's nothing grand or universe-threatening, and, indeed, even the street-level crime and the new supervillain in town aren't the real focus. It's more about Gwen trying to come to terms with her new life, and her powers starting to fail her again. In this respect, it works really well, bringing a feeling of reality to the character that befits a good spider-comic. The downside, unfortunately, is that the story is still incomplete at the end of the volume, and, wherever it was concluded, it's not in this series. That's been Ghost-Spider all over; it's a bolt-on to something else that's not confident enough to stand on its own two (eight?) feet.
