Title: Quality sequel
Review: Often sequels stumble in the second book (either at surprise that people wanted more or stuck as plot drivel setting up for the 3rd in a trilogy). However, this sequel was almost good enough to be on its own if needed. Still, there was a different tone, and it felt more plot than character driven. While the first book focused on the relationships, especially main character Marcus and dog George, this sequel was a bit more political-war heavy. The main characters interactions were less and they were often crabby to each other. It's hard enough to like your friends in real life for being crabby in extended amounts of time, and more difficult to read. The writing is excellent though, and the plot is well thought out and executed with thorough connecting detail. Rating - Idea premise: B+, Content: A-, Overall Rating: B+.
