This book does a good job of growing the characters, adding some into the group, and setting up a system in which even the furniture in your house can add to your abilities in the field. All I can say is that Milan very clearly has planned things out, and really prepared ahead of time so that random events are not so random as they first appear to be. There are ton of great fight scenes and I really enjoyed the face off with the demon. Now we get to see Jason actually succeeding at what he is trying to do. Literally nothing had changed for the rest of the world. Now, before you yell at me and say, hey, we already had a change in regard to Jason’s dad in book one I will tell you that what happened to Jason’s family was a minor ripple and had no impact on the original timeline. Here we finally see that Jason is in fact having an impact and is making progress. I’m not going to say what they are, but this is smart writing, because if there are no changes then it means the future is not being altered. Milan does quite a few things that ups the ante in book two, not the least of which is that there are suddenly changes to the timeline. Thankfully, the similarities were superficial, and I was able to enjoy both series as separate entities. Book one was really good, and that was why I sort of flipped out on Reborn Apocalypse when I started into it.

Now, he’s writing an OP character that actually fits and is still not strong enough to do what he needs done. Most of his earlier works involved a lot of OP characters duking it out with the villain generally getting away via super sneaky power, such as in Desire 2, only to return even stronger than he’d been the day before. I have to say that Cameron Milan has come a very long way in a short period of time.
