The “B” story turned out to be the “A” story, and the original “A” story turned out to be pretty anti-climatic. Even to the point where the final battle was eerily similar to the final battle of the first book. I still really enjoyed the continuing adventures of Kuisl, Magdalena and Simon, and will definitely read the 3rd book, but I hope it gives me a better pay-off and a more creative way to take out the bad guys at the end.
