There was not one single character that wasn’t annoying
The only thing about this book that upsets me is how long I have to wait for the next one in the series.

Great book! Followed up to the first in a good way and I enjoyed the plots they went with, specifically the drifting apart one because I love a good separation arc. Also the Aaron thing? So surprising I honestly still don't know how I feel about it. Anyway I liked it, maybe not as much as the first one but this was still a fantastic story that I enjoyed. Cant wait to read the third one!!
This series is excellent. I love the characters and the magic system and the intertwining of ideology and magic.
This book was quite a bit darker than the first one and sometimes stressed me out a bit, I don’t love it when books make me anxious.

Personally, I liked this book more than the first one. All the new plot points tied in really well and didn’t feel randomly added in, they felt planned. The modern media references continued to throw me off, but there were less so it was easier to read. I really enjoyed the conflicts and personal struggles each character went through. They felt realistic and relatable. The plot twists towards the end of the book had my jaw dropped and I didn’t know who to trust. I would say the only thing that I disliked was (minor spoiler about a new character’s background) Manon’s source of power. Gods were never mentioned before this, so it felt very random. It seemed like a way to give the group a super powerful ally (because they desperately needed one.) Otherwise, I think the plot moved at a good pace and I enjoyed all the characters. It’s not a literary masterpiece, but it’s still a really good sequel and a nice casual read.
