Who doesn't love a magical competition? Especially when there are hidden identities at play.

Once again, the writing is perfectly consumable, and I did not want to put the book down. While there are some good lines, there were also entire pages that I wanted to tab and highlight.

This one has a pretty cruel cliffhanger, so I recommend having the third book on hand.
