This part is less spooky than the last one but I personally preferred that. It‘s mainly concerned with developing characters and setting up mysteries for the next book.
I did find that this less plot-focused nature made the book slightly too long/slow. It was somewhat compensated by the fact that the characters are an absolute strength of this series. They are very likeable, their relationships are heartwarming (found family!) and so hanging out with them is fun even when not too much happens. Ling was a great addition, though I was sad to see less of Memphis in this book. I also enjoyed Evie‘s character development in this
The „mystery“ was less interesting - I had guessed
I‘ll be very interested to see how the mysteries set up here develop in the next book. I do hope the pace picks up though.
(Also January LaVoy is great as a narrator - drunk Evie was hilarious).
