I wasn't actually aware that this was Twarnoite's second novel about the character John Boggle until I'd finished the book and had a scan through the reviews. Not that it mattered as I've found the book to be accessible even as a stand alone novel in itself.

There are some very dark themes throughout this YA story in which the author doesn't gloss over. Decent use of Dante's Divine Comedy as inspiration.

Was pleasantly surprised by it, I have to say.
