I liked it better than the first volume! Most of the things that didn't really work for me in White Trash Warlock as a single book got expanded on and became more satisfying:

• What was a subplot about Adam's father felt more central and we learn more about Adam's familiy, even though it's not over and vol. 3 is likely to bring the answers we still need.
• Sara's role was underwhelming in vol. 1 but now that she's already been introduced, it's easier to buy into her importance in the story.
• In my review of the previous volume I complained that Vic's attraction to Adam wasn't explained, I couldn't see what Vic saw in him but it became clearer in Trailer Park Trickster.

I also thought that the alternation between Adam's and Vic's point of view was better done this time: several chapters ended on small cliffhangers that kept me hooked!

The Sea Elves' domain fascinated me - it's this kind of imagination that I love seeing in fantasy - and as in vol. 1 I loved Slayton's use of colors and smells to describe sensations and magic, like:

The familiar scent of battery acid and rotting blackberries came in bits.

Like the description of a childhood lived in a trailer, it gives the world more texture.
