Not having read the first novel in this series, I’m at somewhat of a disadvantage here. I was able to pick up on the premise easily enough, but much of the YA angst was a continuation of rivalries and love triangles from the first book, so the author didn’t work too hard to re-establish them and they were thus lacking in impact for someone new to the series. In fact, I didn’t even realize it was a second book until the cashier asked me if I had read the first.
The romance was trite, as YA tends to be, and the mythology on which the powers were based was likewise unexplained thanks to it being sophomore of the series.
Overall, I found this book forgettable. Which is saying something, considering I’m a bit of a weeb myself.
(Disclaimer: I read a pre-release version of this that I snagged from a library sale, so keep in mind that my opinion was not formed about the finished product.)
