I enjoyed this case and the characters, even more than the first book. The old timey sensibilities are annoying at times. Lots of tea breaks and other cozy mystery features. I just love the magic and things like ink magicians.

This series has some nice likeable characters and some good dialogue, the plots are interesting but occasionally a bit weak, but they're still enjoyable reads.

A lot of the same in this book as the last. I want to know more about Sylvia's family! If this will they, won't they doesn't resolve in the next book I'll probably put down the series. I hate when it drags on to keep us reading.

Sylvia is still working in Glass Library with Professor Nash and they've discovered an interesting manuscript. There are markings that seem like the book may have come from the well-known Medici family. But there are other markings as well. Some that seem like they might point to some potent magic.
The whole gang is there again, Sylvia's friend, Gabe, Gabe's aunt, and his friend. And they're all trying to figure out what they mean. But then the book disappears. Plus, there's the whole "people trying to kidnap Gabe" issue and him discovering more about his own magic.
An interesting addition to the series and at least one impediment to the path for Sylvia and Gabe gets removed. But that plot point could come back later.
