Just as fun and imaginative as the first installment, Tesh continues to tell so much story in so few pages, but without feeling breakneck or breathless. Silver and Tobias are so precious to me, and big shout-out to Silver's mother for being my other favorite character, I loved her. Emily Tesh is so good at picking up old concepts and ideas and giving them her very own spin that's thoughtful and engaging, she's an auto-read author for me now.
