It's possibly even better than the first, and grittier, darker (oh boy, darker). They spare little time jumping right into the thick of things as well, heading straight into the Canadian wilderness.
It's rare to find horror/adventure written with that kind of grace and style, yet fun and emotionally affecting. Definitely not for the squeamish, and I would hesitate to suggest it for readers under 14.
I have the third on pre-order. Oddly, despite both books being shortlisted for various literary prizes, they haven't been commercial successes. The second book only has like 18 reviews on Amazon, which is boggling considering how good it is.
