The different strands of the story came together really well here: from the ghost town of Anchorage to the bruteish town of Arkangel; from Caul and the Lost Boys to Uncle and Anna Fang; from Sathya appearing again and the Stalker Fang...

I enjoyed reading this more than the 1st book, probably because I cared more about the individual characters by this book - mainly Hester, Tom, and Anna.
