I love so many things about this series. The friend group of Maya, Eli and Frankie is fun to read and watch as they go through everything together. I also love the mythology and how it is woven into the community around Maya in everyday life. 

This book definitely picked up right after book one and it kept up the pace! I enjoyed how it continued while adding complexity to characters we had already met. It was engaging and fast to read. It was fascinating to learn more about the Dark world and what life is like behind the veil. I am excited to see more with the third book!

I received an arc via Netgalley in exchange for a honest review.

This book made me smile so much that my face hurt. I loved it so much. I can't wait for Maya's next adventure. The character development in this series is absolutely fantastic. There is also a lot of action in the books which makes the story move quickly along. I love learning more about West African Mythology with Maya.
