My Rating: 4.6
Two years have passed since the events that everyone wants to forget. Maya's parents, Peter and Kira, are caught up in an investigation of the hockey club's, tensions simmer between the two towns and a 14 year old boy wants revenge for his sister's death.
I loved Beartown and this brought Peter, Maya, Benji and a few more characters back along with some new ones. The rivalry between Beartown and Hed's hockey teams continues along with understanding many behind the scenes influencers.
The only two negative things I have to say about this book are:
1. The translation didn't make it an 'easy' read. It felt choppy and you had to get into the flow of it which took a while. It did capture the humor and once I got in to it, it was easier but never got to where it was a 'fast' read.
2. The foreboding got old and went on for so long that I wanted the event reveal to happen just to get it over with. Then, once the 'reveal' happened it was very anti-climactic.
Other than those two things, this was a very enjoyable read.
