Read as part of the 'Jack of Kinrowan' omnibus ( )

sequel to Jack the Giant Killer

This book is a continuation of Jack the Giant Killer, and it is nice to see what Jacky and Kate have been up to. The two of them definitely mature (especially Kate), and seem to have found their place a bit more. We also get a few new characters who are okay and need to work their own stuff out. It bothers me a bit that Jacky and Kate are always having their stuff trashed, but at least Kate comes up with a really cool new book that tells her stuff. I also find it interesting that I read this simultaneously with The Interior Life, both of which contain the theme of the disembodied heart that must be destroyed.
