[eta: The 5th star remains reserved for Michelle, and October Daye. >:]Much (much!) better than I remember the first one being. Yay - the Seanan I love to read is back! (I'm kinda thinking I need to go back and re-read Discount Armageddon - it's possible I may have been unfairly harsh.)Anyway - more Verity! More Sarah! More interesting and unusual cryptids! Dominic acquired a third dimension! And of course - MORE AESLIN MICE!I really liked this. I would have read it in two days without life's distractions.(non sequitur - I was really confused by the excerpt from Silence "coming in May 2013" when I was sure I had read it! Coming in *paperback* in May 2013... ;)
