I had a very good time with the first inslallment of this series. I am little sad to say that this second book was less enchanting than I hoped, probably because I already knew the universe a little, and the mystery had a different tone. The characters do seems to change less in this one too, meaning a lack, or at least a shift in the tension carried throughout the book.
Despite these elements, it was still a nice read, entertaining and still filled to the brim with a sort of mystic vibe that suits me so well, with a bit of an eery and whimsy atmosphere. Similarly, it is still a great pleasure to have a young mom as a main character, asexual on top of that. Her relationship with the Cat is cute, though I sometimes wished for something... more. Not sexually or anything, just an intensity that I found lacking in this tome.
Finally, the world of this story is still great, with an extended worldbuilding in this new book, which might have influenced my perception too, since there is a diminishing sense of mystery and discovery (not that everything is explained, very far from it, but I don't know, the vibe isn't the same).
Curious to see where book 3 is going !
