I didn't get as engrossed in this one as the first. A few pages or chapters (I don't remember anymore) into Out of Position I lost the ability to put it down, whereas I actually put Isolation Play down a few times and read a couple other books in the interim. I loved the story and character development, so I really have no idea why it didn't grab me in quite the same way; it could be as much to do with my headspace at the time as the book itself.
