Even though it's been a while since I read Good Luck Girls, I didn't have any issues getting into this book. I felt like it was a seemless transition, which doesn't always happen when I read fantasy series so far apart. I loved what Davis did with the characters, and the plot felt like a natural progression of the first book. Overall, I'd say it was a hit!

This is everything I wanted from a sequel to The Good Luck Girls. It feels like the author read my mind.
This book takes the world created in the first book and expands it, showing the systemic issues underneath and all the groups trying to stop them. The Good Luck Girls was a group of scrappy teens fighting for survival, this is them teaming up with other downtrodden people to change the world.
I enjoyed the western trappings (the bar brawl was so fun), the new characters were great, and while I did feel the romantic drama in the middle dragged a bit, I like how it ended up.
If you liked the first one I would definitely recommend this.
