Another fantastic read. The characters are once again fully fleshed-out and a delight to read about, even the ones that aren't on the pages for very long. The worldbuilding is once again excellent, building on what we learned in the first book while also adding new information.

I felt like this book was a faster read than the first one, but that may have been because one, I was reading it digitally instead of physically, and two, there were more things happening because we didn't have to learn how the world worked. That's not to say that it was rushed- everything was well-paced and made sense. I'm very much looking forward to the next book. Especially since

Himura is back. He had such good character development in this book, and i want to see how he and Kurara work together.

If you are into war and origami then this is the perfect book for you. Beautifully written and the cover is gorgeous. This is the second book in the series and worth the read.

Perfect for escapism. Definitely a 2nd book in a trilogy, that does not suffer from 2nd-book-syndrome. Looking forward for the finale.

 I can't remember the last time I rated a sequel 5 stars, but this has fully restored my faith in them again. Following on from the sheer chaos at the end of the first book, Kurara searches for answers to her past, and the future of the Shikigami.

There's three things I look for in a sequel - new characters, new location, new danger. This ticked all three, with Kurara and Haru travelling to meet the gravekeeper, meeting new Shikigami along the way and discovering the horrors they could become.

Of course, this did leave us on somewhat of a cliffhanger for the next book, which I can't wait for. I'm really hoping it will be released sometime in the next two years, and I really think this series could hit a full five stars across the board if ti keeps up.

Couldnt get into it. Likely left to big a gap between the first book and this one. Not the target audience.
