Not one of the best books I've read and is about the same style of read as the first in the series: quick and simple. The author continues to avoid using words and phrases native to the culture and detailed descriptions of the area, which would give it a better feel for the Japanese setting in which the story takes place, so that does leave it feeling a bit generic at times. But, since it is a fast read, I'll finish the series up by reading the third book after this since I have it on hand.
