A nice sequel.
However the narration is awful! Trying to do the different voices has detracted from the story and so I have returned the title. I will buy the book myself to read.

not normally my type of book but I found myself very attached to the characters and their personal journeys. Once I'd finished the first novel I was so pleased there was a 2nd follow on. relaxing and enjoyable.

I’ve really struggled with this book and couldn’t carry on, I found it boring and got to the point where I didn’t care enough to carry on. I really wanted to like it!

It’s far too slow to get going if it did get going!

This review may be unfair as I didn’t finish it!

Zzzzz

Struggled - couldn’t finish!
