After thoroughly enjoying book 1 (The Fire Sermon), I was looking forward to reading the sequel. Unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations. I found myself reading it just to get it finished and once I'd reached the end I felt a little unsatisfied. That said, it was easy to read and continued to explore the same issues as book 1, although perhaps not as deeply.

I really enjoyed this book. The concept of alpha and omega twins and the way their survival was bound together was very thought provoking. It raised some interesting ethical questions. It may possibly be simply because I was recovering from surgery but I didn't predict the end plot - always a positive thing. I didn't find it compelling-can't-put-it -down reading but wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
