Okay but seriously WHAT A SEQUEL! I love Amari and this works so so much. I'm so happy that there will be more to come.
The ending perfectly set up for book three. And by the way LETS TALK ABOUT THAT ENDING.
And mind you I was CRYING MY ASS OFF AT

I think these topics are handled well in such a vibrant and exciting universe without taking away from the topics.
Beyond the topic of the book I found the overall story to feel like it has middle book syndrome as it does a lot of setup for the next book's plot. Whilst this is not bac it did feel like there was nothing that was really accomplished in this book. The loses out weighed the wins in this book.
In saying this I am super excited to read the next book in the series when it comes out.

I found myself getting frustrated with the characters at some points, but reminded myself that this is written for a younger audience. Their decisions aren’t meant to match my expectations.
There were a lot of ending left open here. I’m highly anticipating the next book, but I’m a bit anxious about how everything will wrap up.
