I didn't like this one quite as much as the first, though I enjoyed it. But either there were more editing issues or they bothered me more in this one. I had an aha! moment near the end though, when one of the characters referenced Otago. I looked it up, discovered it's in New Zealand, and realized both books must take place there. So the language is consistent with the place, but I'd have enjoyed both books more if the setting had been made much clearer much earlier on.
