I adore Arthur, while his story definitely shone light to the theme that wasn't quite tackled on the first book, I expected most of the events on this one.
Also note that I am deeply attached to Mr Linus Baker so first book is still my beloved but this sequel is still loved. Like the rest of the characters, I'm also usually disagreeing with public figures (politicians), because it's true. They put themselves above the people that they serve. Arthur and his family's frustration can be felt. Peole are always blinded by hate and refrain from understanding a new perspective if it didn't fit with theirs.
I hope the world learns to be more understanding, albeit not as welcoming but open to differences and deviate from the norm.
