The Painted Man

So I had to re-read this book as I picked up the second book and got about a quarter of the way through it and I didn't remember much about the characters from the first book. I think that I enjoyed it more the second time because I will probably change my rating from a 3 to a 4. I wonder if this is because I read a ways into the 2nd book and I saw more to the story and saw more promise. I'm interested in going forward and seeing where the self discovery of the main characters go because this book is less about the demons and more about where the characters started. The series seems to be developing a larger scope so I'm looking forward to it.
