Before reading this book, Almost Damned, I decided to go back and read Almost Mortal. I'm glad I did. The first book introduced many of the characters, their backgrounds, and the mystery surrounding some of them. I am going to be vague in this review, as I don't want to offer any spoilers. Almost Damned is about an unusual "civil" trial, asking for relief from a punishment placed thousands of years earlier. The trial scenes felt authentic, the plaintiffs' pain real. There are a lot of characters, so I didn't feel as if I got to know most of them very well, even Sam Young, the protagonist, but the two books in the series total just a bit over 400 pages together, so that isn't a lot of room for character exposition as well as action and history. It's still a great read, with a satisfying ending (that may be leading to a third book in the series, I hope).
