While I ended up really liking the first book in the series, I was less enamored with this second title. I found the main character, Noah, fairly annoying through most of the book. I certainly didn't mind that he is far from perfect and kept ignoring what people told him to end up making really bad decisions. But there were so many incidents of this and no hints that he was learning throughout most of the book. Of course he does learn in the end, but by then, in spite of a lot of action, I was bored. But...I'm an adult. Kids who like superheroes as well as kids who read and liked the first will definitely want to read this series entry.
