The Paradox (Oversight Trilogy #2) 
Those who belong to the secret society called the Oversight know many things. They know cold iron will hold back the beasts in the darkness. They know it is dangerous to stand between two mirrors. And they know that, despite their dwindling numbers, it remains their duty to protect humanity from the supernatural. And vice versa.
But two of the society’s strongest members, Mr. Sharp and Sara Falk, are trapped in the world between the mirrors, looking for each other, searching for a way back home. What they discover there will have ominous consequences both for the Oversight and the world it protects, effects that will make them question everything they thought they knew.
The Paradox is the much anticipated sequel to Charlie Fletcher’s dark and compelling urban fantasy debut, The Oversight.

Locus
This is such a great series - Charlie Fletcher creates amazing worlds and populates them with rich, unique, incredibly interesting characters... In this second installment in the trilogy, things are coming together and falling apart in equal measure. It's unusual for a middle book, to my mind, in that it presents an entirely engaging story on its own. Generally speaking, I tend to find middle books to be the glue books - they tie bits together and introduce/develop many of the elements that are
Loved the first one and can't wait to grab hold of a signed copy over at the Quill & Claw very soon.

This second book in the series is overall better paced and more to my liking than the first. It does however still feel very much like a middle book. The book also introduces and evolves a lot of characters which is worth the read.
I've now read the two first books in this series, and I must be honest - I'm struggling to decide how to rate it. Part of me loves it and another is going "nah", not for me...I know, sound's crazy but it's true-I can't decide what I think about it. So I'm giving it a 3. I still haven't decided if I want to read book three. If you're out there and have read it - did you like it?
I dont want to talk too much about the plot of The Paradox, because it picks up right where The Oversight left off. But I will say that as a sequel, it lived up to its predecessor by keeping me invested in the plot and characters. Fletcher did a good job of lightly reviewing some of the information from the first book without overloading (I hate when books dump half of book one back into your lap I already read the first book, thats why Im reading the sequel!) He also continued to divulge new
The first book took a while to grip me but The Paradox was enthralling from page 1. Charlie and Lucy are now provisionally members of the Oversight and we see their training, set against the slow decline of that team and the aftermath of book one. We follow Amos and Ghost and sympathise with the dilemmas of both. And most excitingly we see Jack and Sara (thank God she has her head screwed on correctly; Jack is far too trusting) stumble through the mirror maze and discover the truth behind the

Having read books 1 & 2 Back to back I found that I enjoyed Book one more. It was as a completely new world and kept adding new twists. This is definitely a Middle-book in that there were times I found myself wading through to get to the end so that I could find out what really happens in book 3. Dont get me wrong there is expansion of the story / characters and some new twists as well as character additions, I just felt like I knew it was going to get more murky before anything couldThis is such a great series - Charlie Fletcher creates amazing worlds and populates them with rich, unique, incredibly interesting characters...
