You must be strong enough to hit many times without tiring. The first lesson is to become so strong. 

A good continuation of the first book, although not as exciting as that one. The plot felt to be moving slower than the in the first one, and there wasn't much to see, apart from Jude's fascinating and complicated relationship with Cardan and her family. Very good plot twists and certainly awaiting to read the finale.
