I really like this author's style and enjoyed reading this second book to find out what happened next. Waubgeshig Rice writes with such confidence that people will enjoy a quieter and more thoughtful take on a story others would fill with explosions and constant chaos. His characters are capable people, but never treated as superheroes, living their lives respectfully and with honor.  Sometimes what happens will make you cry, but there's also a note of hope -- that there will be threats and dangers, but also community.
