This one wasn't quite as good as the first, but really close. Still a really intriguing story! I LOVE the Biltmore estate and forest setting, all the animals and creatures, and most of all Serafina! She's young, but strong and a fighter. Also, the villain (and backstory) TOTALLY surprised me in this one, which I think is kind of hard to do with middle grade! So fun. Excited to continue!
