The first book is still my fave but this was good. once I was able to sit and read it. I got two chapters in a month ago and then something came up and I didn't get back to it for a while. I started over because I like having flow. It was interesting and had more action and that was not bad because these two were not the sit-at-home and do-nothing type of people. they were get out there and change crap kind. and this story reflected that. the only thing that had me hanging back from a higher rating (not that 4 stars is not a perfectly acceptable rating) was the ending. it felt rushed and in a direction I never thought it would go. I expected many years of traveling the world carrying out missions together but it went another way. Not bad, and I am truly happy for them, but at the same time it seems odd because everything so far had led us to believe one way and at the very end it veered. All the same, it was a great read.
