i actually enjoyed vol 2 much more than 1, and not just because boyd and hsin finally got together ;) i just felt like the entire thing was much better paced and had a more coherent overall plot. i didn't find myself getting bored and wanting to skip ahead through the 2nd half like i wanted to with vol 1. tbh to me it would make more sense for evenfall to be two entirely separate books instead of just a vol 1 and 2 of the same book but anyway. onto afterimage and the official introduction of my most problematic fave ;)
