I like both this book and the first. I am also glad I read them. That said, there are a few issues. 1. Fuzzy is the only bonded animal?!? Also Fuzzy’s stats are mentioned but never revealed… 2. I understand that the MC is just one guy and all; but he has hundreds of people under him and there are too many things that go unnoticed or untouched until he is there, like how is he the first to notice planes on the AIR FORCE BASE…? 3. The stat gains are not shown well in the characters, other than strength… The MC gains tons in willpower and intelligence but consistently fails to manage his temper and forgets important information. Still though, a great book with far more up sides than down.
