A really great sequel. Nice, tidy duology. 

I didn't do the full re-read of the first one, I just went back and read my blog post, the summary, and the last couple pages. Then I jumped right in to this one. Since it's YA, it wasn’t too hard to pick it right up.

It had a satisfying ending. I wasn't sure at one point how it was going to wrap up. 

It's also gorgeous.

The Owlcrate is edition had an author letter bound in, a signature, and a bonus chapter. 

It also gloriously matched the first book.

I really liked this book but I was so annoyed that it ended in a cliffhanger and now I have to wait for the sequel!

It was really interesting, and the magic system was well developed, and the characters were solid. I didn't expect all of the twists either, so yay!

First page

The main character is kind of annoying, but in a way that helps the plot and makes sense with her backstory.
