Shadowhouse Fall (the Shadowshaper Cypher, Book 2), Volume 2 by Daniel José Older

5.0

Ahhhhh this was fantastic. It's autumn so the kids are back to school, and to see the magic system of shadowshaping set side-by-side with the real-world issues either happening or being discussed in the classroom was brilliant. I loved seeing Mina step in and become part of the crew after she showed up in Tee's novella GHOST GIRL IN THE CORNER, and from the old-timer shapers to Sierra's mom, just... yes. I love the scope of these books, bringing together strangers and families with magic and without it. And that ending? YES. Why shouldn't we be able to have both? Can't wait for #3. Time to go find the second novella. And more Bone Street Rumba books in the meantime.
