The Broken Vow

A satisfying end to the story begun in [b:Spill Zone 23532871 Spill Zone (Spill Zone, #1) Scott Westerfeld https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1492473454s/23532871.jpg 43134535]. Of course, satisfying explanations are the natural enemy of creepy horror, so the tone of this one isn't as enchanting as the first volume. At times I felt the mystery was overexplained - particularly the driving motivations of Vespertine and the King Wolf Thing, which are IMHO laughably pedestrian. I wish they'd managed to keep the otherworldly vibe a little more.But it's still there - just not as strong as in the first half of the story. The art continues to bring the shivers, as well as some aching beauty. And I do appreciate that we get more insight into what the hell is going on. And a true conclusion of the main story, even if everything isn't wrapped up, and some enticing threads are dangled in front of us. It strikes the right balance.
