Court of Shadows
by Madeleine Roux
I think I liked this more than the first one? It has a lot of the same problems with telling rather than showing the relationship development between the characters, with Louisa being a bit dumb / nonsensical in her decision making, and with the book's not having fun with its over-the-top concept. It's much too serious and tries way too hard to be scary when every character should be way more like Morningside in their attitude: flippant and having too much fun with murder.
Still, it's enjoyable enough, and it's just my kind of light, fun YA, even if I wish it took itself less seriously.
3.5/5 stars
