After the great experience of the first book, I knew I'd love this sequel - and I did! Wonderful to follow Marie, who was so enigmatic and mysterious in the previous book. Kuro & Joe are a phenomenal duo, and the chemistry between the three is just as present and palpable as before. The continuing exposure to varying Asian cultures and myths is incredibly enjoyable and just makes me want more. Genuinely hoping Drake continues with this series, because just these first two books lay the groundwork for a sweeping world and epic adventures. Not a 5-star because issues from previous books are still there, but greatly improved, and just another reason I hope to see more from this author/series.
