Much better than the first book in the series! A friend said I had to read it & I'm glad I did. Still not amazing, the protagonist wrings hands & pukes for about half the book & that's a bit dull, but there's some really fun sexy bits almost at the end which are a good reward for your attention. In the end not-like-other-girls becomes even more of a Fairy-Sue which is a little tedious to be honest. Everyone is beautiful & powerful & so very squeaky clean.
