A very strong sequel to The Secret Hour and a fantastic middle book as I make my way to Blue Moon, the Midnighter’s finale. I am basically hit and miss when it comes to the second book of a trilogy. This is because it’s either a laboured attempt to make the plot plod on until things can be concluded...

The Midnighters are forging themselves into a tighter unit and now they find that there are other adults that know something about the Secret Hour. The Darklings have a plan and some human help, the teenagers have to keep themselves alive and fight the evil. Interesting but a book that really need...

2.5 stars.Main annoyances: Why does everyone treat Melissa like crap? They call her a bitch behind her back and act like she's so high and mighty. I didn't really see that. I mean, sure, she's not the easiest person to get along with, she's a little standoffish, and she can be snarky. She's not a fa...

Al contrario del primo libro, che parte con una buona idea che poi non sviluppa bene, questo libro parte quasi senza idee ma riesce a tirar fuori qualcosa di interessante nel finale. Non sono ancora sicura di aver capito tutto dei midnighters di cinquant'anni prima, nè riesco ad immaginare come gli ...

The greatest strength here isn't the main storyline of Midnighters versus Darklings, but in all the side issues. Family dynamics, the changes to other relationships caused by forming a couple, trust and betrayal, Westerfeld manages to fill a short novel with a lot of meat. And the geek in me is th...

This was a better book than the first in the series. Things are starting to come together and make more sense. The characters are growing and their relationships to each other are certainly morphing as they experience midnight and the darklings in new and unknown ways. Again this series is quick ...
