I previously rated book 1 of this series 3 smiles and a wink for a slow start but a strong finish.
Book 2 begins by personifying the entire state of Kansas as a wizened old man who has seen everything and is not impressed by your shenanigans. I loved this beginning.
"Henry York had seen things in Kansas, things he didn't think belonged in this world. Things that didn't. Kansas hadn't flinched."
Unfortunately, that is where I stopped enjoying this book. Too many characters often left me confused. Many times I felt as though I had missed something, forcing me to rummage back through old pages in search of a twist or fact I had somehow overlooked. Oftentimes, there wasn't one, leaving me frustrated.
Overall, 1 smile (I still like Henry York as a character and the idea itself has merit) for a confusing plot I simply couldn't get into.
