I LOVED IT!
I am gutted there isn’t a third yet and the next thing out is a prequel. The ending had me gasping and yelling - even my kid wanted to know what had happened (and he’s 4).
I enjoyed this more than the first but that’s likely due to the fact I had a better understanding of just now grounded Dawson’s work is in our own reality. Her ability to create a pocket world inside the actual reality we’re currently living is extraordinary but it made for a slightly jarring experience at first.
I cannot wait for more of this story - prequel which will talk about one of my favorite historical figures (Anne Boleyn) and the next installment from present day can’t arrive fast enough.
Love love love
