did not like it

While the first book was very fresh and interesting, this one fails in every detail.
The story is moving with an amazingly slow pace, is predictable and has no novelty whatsoever.
But the worst of all are the character's introspections. The three main characters are constantly pondering their choices and no part of their running in circles is spared to the reader. It really made me want to put the book down numerous times.

I can't help the feeling that this is yet another series designed solely for money. The whole story could have been wrapped up in a few extra chapters of the first book and it would have been good. This whole book gives a feeling of being written only to fill extra pages with words - for the sole reason of creating extra book the people will pay for because they liked the first.
I understand the author has to make a living, but why does it have to be so obvious? Where is the creativity?
