YA
The power, violence, and emotional outlet Jack found in the alternate world of Marbury (The Marbury Lens) have proven addictive, and he soon returns. While the first book provided glimpses of hope, here Marbury's relentless grimness is front and center, and while the story provides resolution, it offers difficult truths rather than easy comfort.
