This is the sequel to Robert J Power's SPFBO finalist book, Spark City, and my overall comment is - it's even better than the first!! The story is a bit tighter, the characters have grown and developed, and the pacing is fast. It's quite long, too,...
Overall, I enjoyed this one, but I probably won't read on in the series. It was a nice change from some of the more epic fantasy I've been reading recently, a futuristic Gossip Girl-type story that focuses on the lead-up to a death that you...
