No spoilers here, but I'm still amazed that there were so many "WHAT?!?" twists in this book, including the cliffhanger ending. Grrr, the wait begins for Book 3... 
 Favorite quotes: 
 "I like to watch his hands as he works, making a blank page bloom with strokes of ink, adding touches of color to our previously black and yellowish book. His face takes on a special look when he concentrates. His usual expression is replaced by something more intense and removed that suggests an entire world locked away inside him." 
 "You haven't hurt people -- you've given then an opportunity! They just have to be brave enough to take it." 
 "I do my best, thinking of them one by one, releasing them like birds from the protective cages inside me, locking the doors against their return."
