Oh my I don't know how I read this whole book but I did, and to put it plainly is sucks...
I enjoyed Pathfinder #1... but this book was just bad...
Whats wrong with it you ask...
First the characters whine way to much, and they don't stop whining... and all they do is whine entire chapters are filled with nothing but whining
Second the characters become unlikable... because of the whining...
Third the preaching... wow there are pages and pages of the preaching about the authors opinion... and some of it seems very out of place, by this I mean that the characters are lecturing and you know there lecturing (preaching), and the subject the character is "preaching" is pounded over your head with a sledgehammer. Sometimes this is justified by the story because of all the whining characters, and other times its not justified because its all thoughts in the characters head.
The story itself takes a nose dive, and repeats itself... first the characters don't trust those they encounter, then they pretend to trust them, then they find out there lying, they do something stupid, they meet new people or deal with the consequences of there stupidity loop this about 20 times and you get the whole story... All this of course takes a backseat with the conflict and whining going on in the main group...
If you like whining, (lots of it), then buy all means this book its for you...
If you don't like whining and liked Pathfinder your better off imagining what happens to the characters yourself, it would undoubtedly be better then wasting your time reading this.
