The Academy on Oct. 01, 2011

I enjoyed this volume, which picked up 10 years after the first volume. The Academy introduces a few new characters, and we see very little of the characters from volume one. Though they do play a role, they take a back seat to the new characters. The story is well-told and kept my attention (not an easy thing, I've got several books that are bookmarked half-way!). No fifth star on this one because it did not resolve the "loose ends" left from volume one, and left some loose ends of its own. I am, however, looking forward to the third installment!
