I liked this book. I think it was a solid sequel, and I'm excited to read the next book in this series.
I thought the characters were good, and I liked how Nova has grown and evolved. I liked the relationships and I'm curious to see how they develop. I think there's a good chance of a love triangle and I'm curious how Hernandez will write that. I'm always iffy on love triangles or love shapes. So far for this one, I don't have a big preference.
I struggled with the pacing. Overall, it was fine. I thought there were a lot of moments that were more of a "show" than a "tell." But for those moments to be "shown" would have changed the pacing and made the book longer. The writing style kept me interested and engaged. I love the bits of Spanish throughout, and I loved the glossary in the back. The plot was cute. I liked that there were two separate yet connected plots between "now" and "then."
