I went into this book expecting more of the (very enjoyable) same that was given to us in the first book.
This was not the case.
If you don’t like being confused, I do not recommend this book. I spent a solid 70% of this book with very little idea of what was going on, and I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. I could not put this book down. I needed answers. And when the answers were delivered, I was not disappointed.
The only thing keeping me from rating this 5 stars is that, like the first book, I feel like the tone of several key scenes was undermined by humour.
I will now eagerly await the release of the third book.
