Was worth watching, but not as good as first one

For some reason, this album does not sit well with me.  It's not that this album is just so different from the first, it's that the songs aren't as good.  Their first album had had so many different styles.  This album is just bland.

It was entertaining, but I did not like it as well as the first book. I enjoyed The Finisher more.

The first one was the best, the second one was not quite as good, and the last one was a let down.

Truthfully I didn't like it as much as the first one, but I am still chomping at the bit to read the rest of this paranormal/urban fantasy series. Unlike the first book, this volume is presented in a linear fashion, which perhaps many readers will prefer. I rather came to like they way the first book cleverly jumped around time with its case stories. While this book was well written and edited, with nice world building, but there were small holes, I didn't feel the connection between Johnnie and "Eros" the way I did Chris and Sable in Book #1. Perhaps it had more to do with Johnnie as he really didn't become a knowable or likeable character until later in the story. Still...recommended!

I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book.

This is the second part of Andy Mulberry's "Of Witches and Wolves" series, and it's a decent follow-up to the first volume, if a bit more flawed - something that isn't all that uncommon with the second part of a series. The first part introduces us to the characters and familiarizes us with the world the story takes place in, while also setting up the pieces of the plot and putting them in motion. With all of that to accomplish, first books tend to be pretty strong stories with just enough dangling threads to lure you back in for more. By contrast, second books serve more as bridges - picking up those threads and moving the plot pieces to their next place on the board before laying out some new threads to be picked up in the next book, fleshing out and evolving the main characters a bit, and maybe shining a bit more light on some secondary characters. Because they have less to accomplish, second books can end up feeling a bit weak by comparison. Unfortunately, "Ice Girl" suffers a bit from that.

In my review of "Fire Girl" I'd noted the romance seemed a bit lacking because one-half of the couple was under a spell that compelled those feelings, and I'd expected the romance to be more vibrant in this volume. Sadly, it wasn't. We didn't really see our main couple together that much, and both were feeling quite insecure about their relationship because they were making assumptions rather than talking to each other. We got to revisit some of the side characters from the first book, but in some ways, their appearances felt a bit like cameos. A few new characters were introduced and seem promising, though a couple didn't have a whole lot to do besides establishing that they are a part of the story.

As for the story itself, it started pretty slow, but once it got going, it was one heck of a ride. Things went from bad to worse very quickly, and it was in figuring out how to resolve the situation that we really got to see how strong of a bond our main characters have, which was really nice.

So, even though it may be a weaker book overall - largely due to "second-part-itis," there was certainly enough to hold my interest and I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes from here.

I did not like it as well as I did the first one, but it was still a good movie.

Not nearly as action packed as the first, but nonetheless a fun read.

I recalled this book from when I first read it, but it didn't live up to my recollections or the first book in the series

I loved the first book.  This one was really good but not quite as good.  Again I was able to really picture the environment.  I liked the unique story.  Somewhat post-apoctolyptic but still it's own thing.

It was an interesting book, however, not as captivating as the first.

So far, not as good as 1 or 2.  But still good.

Wasn't quite as good as the first one and I felt like the ending was a bit of a let down.

We loved Anna Dewdney's first book, but this one didn't quite live up to the same standards.  It was just so-so.  The story wasn't as good and the pictures didn't seem as lovely as in the first book.<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Llama-Llama-Red-Pajama/dp/0670059838/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Llama, Llama Red Pajama</a>

Our 2nd one.  Not as good as the first.  Its smaller and the material is made of a different product then before.

I love Gentri but some of these songs were a bit louder than the first album. I didn't  care for it as much as the first.
