I liked it, but I got the impression to read a bit the same as the first volume. Is it because I read it just after I do not know. I found Cullen more gruff than in the 1st volume and much less facetious which is a shame, I was expecting something else I confess. Similarly, I thought Browyn have more character than that, I found that it gave in too quickly, it is sufficient that the key to it melts like butter in the sun. In short, enjoyable but not memorable.
