aeeklund 's review for:
The Deck of Omens
by C.L. Herman
Really enjoyed the sequel, though it wasn't as strong of a book as the first one (but close!). I appreciated the shift in POV characters to two of the characters we met in the first book, allowing for an expansion of the world while still following characters we'd grown to know and care for. This sequel takes everything you thought you knew from the first book and flips it on its head in clever ways. My one complaint is that it does this so often and so consistently that the novelty begins to wear off, and you start to figure things out more and more quickly as your mind grasps the patterns of revelation. However, it was really fun to stay in this world longer and see the characters fulfill their arcs (and embark on new ones!) in consistent, believable ways. Love these characters, love this bizarre, twisty, atmospheric town. Really, really hoping we get a companion book down the line, as I would love to visit again, but really liking where everything was left. Definitely recommended, particularly for autumn reading. Preferably with tea and cats and the rain running down the window next to you.
