While I did really like the plot in this book, I'd say I would like more of a flowing plot throughout all four books, rather than one crisis in one book, defeated, a new crisis in the next book, defeated, etc. Unlike with most second installments, I was glad that I was able to just jump right into this book and have it still feel like Doon I appreciated that there weren't a thousand new characters brought in to make it confusing. THAT ENDING! WHY?! JUST WHY?! It was all going so well and then. That being said, both books are absolutely phenomenal and I adore them both to pieces! I might say I liked Doon *ever so slightly* more, but not because it was a 'better book', simply because I enjoyed seeing the story start off and getting to know the characters for the first time. this book was beautiful!! The way that the characters have grown and developed since the first book is amazing! And I also really loved the plot in this book! I think that the Limbus is absolutely frightening and there were definitely some *shudder* worthy moments.
