This book moved a lot slower than the first one and I was less invested. It wasn't bad, I was just less drawn.
I liked seeing the contrast in Hilo in particular of being a ruthless person at times but also a caring father.
ETA: I've cooled on this book in the meantime and bumped the rating down. I just don't care to continue with the series, which is a shame because I really enjoyed the first one. This book has some great scenes, but overstayed its welcome.
