A great sequel to the first book of the series.
You really get to know Rune and Norah's minds within the first chapters, and it isn't rushed between them. Their relationship feels more natural between them as they've talked and know each other at least a bit before falling into bed.
Rune telling his part of why he tried to sabotage Thor was a letdown, though. I wanted to really get his side of it, hear what he had to say when he was explaining it to another person. Not just his feelings. And I wanted Norah's reaction! We don't get even a little bit of what she thought about what she was told. It was glossed over and disappointing.
The storyline works up to the pinnacle moment when we figure out why the mobster wanted Earth coins. I will say that it did fall a little flat and rushed going through finding Lyle and the reason why the coins were so important. I didn't really get a clear picture of what was happening, and it was a bit confusing as I read it. It's treated like a small blip in the book rather than a huge part of the book. It's the whole reason Norah ended up there, so I feel it needed a bit more attention to detail there.
I wanted to also meet Norahs twin sisters and grandfather and get a bit more of their personalities. How did Grandpa get there, too? I thought he was on deaths door?
Also, what exactly happens to Yenk? That's just left up in the air, and I'm curious.
Overall, this book is good, and I enjoyed reading it.
