So I was wrong when I said I wouldn't read the next book in the series. My son read this one and told me it was great and that I HAD to read it. I'm glad I did. This one was so much better than the first! The characters had better dimension. The settings were interesting. The new people and challenges presented weren't always what they seemed.... and decisions were definitely not black and white. I will admit, I was a little thrown in the beginning because of the "and now they are off to Hogwarts!" feel of the Paxington School, but absolutely nothing else about the school was Hogwartsy at all. It's a good, meaty read that doesn't feel like it's long even though there's nearly 700 pages, and the Infernals and Immortals manage to not be boring because they each have facets of several versions of each god/dess archetype from around the world. I'm looking forward to the other books in the series!
Won this book through the First Reads giveaway. Can't wait to read it!
