As perfect as the first book, this one goes in depth of the magic studies and Nevermoor in itself giving you an extraordinary magical journey. I loved the new powers, mysteries, twist and turns and (new enemies?). C'est magnifique!

Brilliant follow-up to the first book. The world building is great and the new characters are wonderful
(Murgatroyd and Dearborn were a great surprise)
. Some definite frustration with the teaching staff being super biased against Morrigan, but their reactions are very believable.
Loved the twist on the bad guy for the novel. Squall is such a compelling villain too - so charismatic and doing what the reader wants for Morrigan the whole time (teaching her how to be a Wundersmith).

4.5! I loved everything about this sequel! I love this setting and seeing a different side of it in this book was interesting. The plot twists - I CANNOT. I’m so excited (but at the same time annoyed I have to wait) for the third book to come out!
