caeralee's review against another edition

Well written and worth the read
It’s not often that a sequel surpasses the original book but this one does!
Chock full of tidbits reminding the readers what happened in the first book the second embellishes on new problems with our same beloved characters that have recently returned from Christmas at home. The book hops between the worlds of Cambridge with Nick and crew, and Gemini with Alfonso and Katya. Both worlds are well written and action packed. The ending though, what a way to finish. I sure hope there will be a third ‘after Easter’ book to expand on that ending.
I love all the accuracy written about life in and around Cambridge and there is just enough mystery and thrills to keep you begging for more, some day this American hopes to visit and just maybe see bumps!

Another page turner in this second of the series (and I wonder how many there will be). Here, the plot thickens and we get to see more of that parallel world we first caught glimpses of in College of Shadows. Of course, being set in my alma mater, these books always make me feel homesick for the place (and for my youth). These books are also important because they stress how important universal access to Oxbridge is, with most of the main characters being from state school, and that's a vital statement and part of the books. Great read. Can't wait for the third.
