I enjoyed the first book in the series more than this one. This one was a little too convoluted in intrigue loops for me to follow. I'd find my brain disengaging and skipping a paragraph or four trying to just get to the 'end' of whatever convoluted loop the next chapter took.

I still at the end don't know if I understand what happened.

I still like the idea and characters, just the second outing wasn't as much fun for me and i was unwilling to been engaged in the story enough to feel like reading it.
