A few fellow book-addicts suggested I give the sequel to Hollowland (which I previously rated only 2 smiles for flat characters) a try, claiming I was a bit hard on the author. They aren't going to be happy with this review: the sequel is a depressingly terrible conclusion to an already weak story. I found myself thinking "why did I read this" on more than one occasion. The story of Remy (who I don't feel any closer to after this second book, by the way) continues on in a rather rambling fashion. I wanted her story to have depth and complexity, but found it more "fairy tale" and obvious this time around. I'm truly saddened to do this to a book by an author I admire, but I have to say 1 smile for this sequel. Feel free to comment if you disagree.
