i am thinking of trying to find a copy because i loved the original and was wondering is it as good, better or worse or will it spoil the original for me? also are the same charcters in it i would gather luna is form the tiltle anyway cheers for the advice.

I would definitely say that it is in fact a lot better than the first one, but that's just my opinion. The story just seems a lot more interesting and the characters are more likable. The characters are also pretty much all new but they almost like a reincarnation of the older ones.
