This book is good fun :). I could be biased due to my nostalgia for this series, but I really enjoyed the second installment in the Wildwood series.
Again, this book is very fun, mostly full of our main characters triversing the strange world of the wood. Colin Meloy does a good job of expanding on concepts presented in the first book without being boring or repeating events from the first book. It's interesting to see Prue and Curtis faced with new challenges regarding Wildwood and it's inhabitants, as well as Elsie and Rachel encountering these woods for the first time.
My only complaint is the pacing. The pacing constantly changes depending on the chapter and page in a way which is often quite jarring, and while it does negatively impact some moments, for the most part it can be looked over .
