“Not as enjoyable as the first one. The plot wandered around without building any real tension. I didn't really care about any of the characters. The narrator's voice seemed overdone this time around and became very self-conscious, distracting from the story instead of adding to it. Worst of all, I didn't find the protagonist (Stark) as likeable as I did in the first book - I felt like telling him to get over himself. The best character in the book is a zombie slayer who hardly does anything, which seemed like quite a missed opportunity.
Overall it felt like this book was just filling in time before the final battle in the third book. ”
