It is a heavier-themed book than the last. I would recommend it for mid to late HS.

4.0

So far I'm really impressed that the Chelsea who read these books about 10 years ago has the same opinion as I do rereading them now.

I liked this book, just not as much as the first. I think that part of that is because it feels like a whole different tone and plot than the first book. Almost like a detour from what the main overarching plot is. I do think that this book is needed for information and especially Ronan's character development. 

I think that you can also see Maggie's love of cars. I personally, didn't care for the Kavinsky parts, but I'm so ready to continue in the series!

Am rereading this along with a friend reading the series for the first time, still enjoy it just as much. It's such a different series to the other books you find in the genre, and the relationships between the characters are so developed and fulfilling

oh this book was WILD. i truly enjoy every magical thing in this book and damn me i like these characters A LOT. Ronan’s narration was great, i’m so glad this book focused a lot on him!!

main reason why i enjoyed this slightly less than book one is probably because it was set in the summer (i personally am not a fan of summer) therefore it lacked that “private school vibe” which i loooved.
