This is fine. I didn’t love the first volume but wanted to continue reading to see if it got better. It did not - I feel pretty much the same about this volume as I did the first. It was fine but not very good. Even though this is horror, I am not finding this very scary or creepy. I read a lot of fantasy so I am fine with magic-y weird stuff being used as part of the plot or world building, but so far the keys-related stuff has felt gimmicky rather than magical or interesting.
