4.5⭐️ It took me a bit longer than the first book to get into the story. I think I was so ensconced with Oxford that the violent shove back into London threw me and it was like trying to read a new first book series entirely. That said, once I caught the vibe this one took off for me. I was looking for more Reph action, but the way the author is building both the voyant stories AND the Reph stories simultaneously is appealing.
The ending boosted the rating for me because I simply could not tear my eyes from the page. I NEED ANSWERS ASAP!! Can’t wait to continue on!

I will admit that it took me a little which to get back into this world, and to remember all of the different characters. The story picks up almost exactly where the previous book ends, so there is actually very little preamble going over everything that happened in the previous book (which for the most part I do prefer). I will not go into the plot as this is such a direct continuation of the first in the series. But overall I am still really enjoying the world building, and I like the overarching plot and how it is starting to develop.
