I feel a little stupid while reading these books, but I do end up really enjoying them! I would definitely not be recruited by either the society or the forum

I would give this book more than 5 stars if I could. I think this series is going to be one that I reread multiple times ad each time I'm going to put new connections together. Blake continues with the themes from the first book with magic being intertwined with physics and still to this day is the most creative magic system I've ever read about. But with book two, she adds in this urgency of end of the world like destruction is on the horizon. The best way I can recommend this book to someone is just read it. Trust me, a stranger on the internet, and go read these books.

i enjoyed this one more than the first one, but i still feel like there was something lacking. the language is difficult to get through sometimes (again, i know we’re in a pretentious organization but some things have limits). however, the saving grace of this one was the characters once again. this provided a lot more interaction and exploration between the main characters that i thought was super interesting. they were definitely fleshed out and played into each other more than the first one. i really loved learning more about tristan. i found his character very interesting and loved the further insight into callum’s character. i also thought the inclusion of more “outside” characters like gideon was a good move because honestly he’s the best one.
there’s also something about the last 30 pages of these books that make me insane. i was pretty meh about both the first one and this one until the endings. i just think they really keep you in the edge of your seat. it sets up the next book well which i hope takes in that feeling.

It seems the characters are growing on me. After reading the first book, I found most of them quite unlikeable, although I did like Gideon. I was just curious about what would happen to these terrible people. And in this book, we finally see some real action. Where most of the previous book was about getting to know the characters, their interactions and what the library would take from them in order to accept them, this book shows more of what is going on in their world and how they could change it. It is still a book that makes you think, though. And Gideon is still my favorite.

Things got even weirder in this one. Can’t wait to see how the series ends
