I enjoyed this one slightly more than the first, since it didn't so quickly unwind into YA tropes. It did, however seem to delight in the details of civil war, child soldiers, and total failed states.
Wow. This was a great read. Fast-paced and action-packed. Excellent, realistic setting and neat characters. Only drawback is that the plot was rather simple and straightforward.
