review 1: After reading the first book, I thought it was OK as a stand alone. I still thought about it when I picked it up shortly after finishing the first book. But as I continued reading it, it quickly made me change my mind. I completely forgotten how much I loved this world and characters after heading the first book; the humor stayed and kept the book entertaining. There were feels being felt, especially near the end. What I also like about this is that this series is a duology, most likely, something that is very rare, especially in YA. Her writing is comical and entertaining, just like the story itself, and something fresh for my themed reads this month.
review 2: Picking up from the events in the first book in this series, Necromancing the Stone developed the ch... morearacters further, built around a well-plotted story line. There were not too many surprises but that's OK - not every book needs to have tortuous plots or red herrings on every page. Sam's own journey of discovery is what holds the reader's attention; the other characters are great in their supporting roles but this remains Sam's story, I'm pleased to say. This is a good urban fantasy with a male lead who has an engaging "voice" and a great sense of humour. There is something very genuine about his desire to be the good guy that is rather sweet, but I did really enjoy the smack down he put on one of the werewolves. I'm not going to include a spoiler, but you'll know the bit I mean when you reach it! less
