I thought that things couldn't get any better than the first book, but clearly, I am (happily!) wrong in that assumption. I didn't read all of this first look because when I do, I'm always left with the feeling of wanting MORE only to have to WAIT what feels like too long in order to finish what's been started. I like to savor books like this, to curl up in a chair with a blanket and a hot drink with books like this. The first book and this one deserve so much more attention than they get.
