I enjoyed getting to know Jack and Jill a bit more. I found them to be interesting characters in the first book and wanted to learn more about them and their background which this book did. I found it very interesting the book diving into the subject of people who never wanted kids having kids, because everyone else around them is and not being about to relate to them.

A very specific, Gothic story compared to the first book. It feels more linear, in favor of exploring the Moors rather than the chaotic possibilities of the school. I did enjoy getting the details of Jack and Jill's background after the ending from book 1. Jill's pov reminds me of the Hammer horror film Twins of Evil. Jack's pov really grounds her character, expanding on the growth she had from the first book. This is a solid follow-up. I love how short the books are, how much can be packed in so few words. Makes binging the series much easier.

I went into this book only knowing what the very beginning and the very end would be, with some vague ideas about the directions the characters would go in. Basically I knew what you would know if you've read the first book in this series (which I HIGHLY recommend doing before reading this one). I think that's the best way to experience it, so all I'm going to say here is that this book hurt me deeply and I'm a bit disturbed now by the fact I relate so well to Jack.

Really enjoying these books so far, they are well written, the characters are complex and I feel like the author did a good job in how the povs were split. The world is so interesting and I wanted to keep reading about, the only thing I wish was different was that it was longer as I could easily spend a good 300+ pages on this world. And the way the previous book and this one play off each other is very smart, making sense of the last one while priming you and exciting you for the next one.

Préféré au premier. Jack et Jill etaient deux persos qui m'intriguaient beaucoup alors forcement un livre avec elle j'allais pas dire non. Et franchement j'adore. Si tous les livres ont une qualité superieure au précédent ça va vite devenir ma série fav
