Middle school lighthearted writing style with a plot that is less detail oriented than Harry Potters world in a good way. The characters are very strong minded while the teachers are on the more quirky side. Semi-dark (😏) relationship revealed at the end buuuut nothing crazy. Love love loved.

I was happy to come into the series after three+ books were out (is that it?) I don't always want to continue on with a series back to back, but I like to have the option. Here, I started the second book (also included in AudiblePlus, it is an AudibleOriginal, exclusive) immediately after finishing the first (and I've read the third before getting around to writing this review).
I like that all three stories, while continuing and connected, have their own storyline. Book 1 wrapped up with Amelia connecting with her mother, saving the school, and being revealed as a composer. Here, the kids have had summer break and are back at the school.
Enter ... Amelia Jones. The other Amelia Jones (the "real" one per se). Also, as the title indicates, there is the Midnight Orchestra, with a mysterious conductor/Necromuse who may have evil plans.
This matched the first installment, same narrator (she's great) and the background music adding ambience to the audio edition. The punny chapter headings (and here, there were chronological chapters as well as headings, something the first book lacked).
There was a "Pitch Perfect" feel ... a competition between schools.
A little time manipulation ... baby Jai.
The reveal ... I was pretty much expecting that, and there was an event to set up further adventures, while bringing this conflict to a conclusion.
1st person/present tense. YA - no content concerns.

I flew through this book! I loved it just as much as the first. This is such a fun book with music and mystery and magic. I love Amelia and I loved getting to know her story more!
