I want more from this series!! Now I didn't LOVE this one but I still really really enjoyed it and I loved being with the characters and seeing how things turned out and its just a good time for me and I want more.

Not as good as the first one. The solution to some of the problems were rather unsatisfactory. :-(
But, all in all, a very good book. Totally recommend it to everyone who shares my taste in books, and I am eagerly waiting for the continuation. I love Nicole Glover's characters.

Solid follow-up to the first, even perhaps a bit less convoluted so easier to follow all the threads. As with the first, I didn't always follow the logic or conversational leaps, but it was exciting and I enjoyed the ultimate comeuppances.

I enjoyed this even more than the first book in the series. The actual mysteries they're trying to solve really aren't that interesting, but I love the magic system (focused mostly on sigil magic, and called Celestial Magic, which is outlawed for Black people to use), but I like the characters and found family, and I love a fantastical alternate-history tale.
