Ooookay!! I feel like what happened in this volume may be obvious, but I didn't see it coming?? I like it.. and I'm intrigued more than ever to know how this all began.

This volume started out strong and continued throughout, thank god! I really had fun with this one.

"When in doubt, go to the library."

I'm having a much better time watching the films and reading these books than I expected, I'm not sure if any are going to blow me away, but that's okay and I think I'm preferring the films over the books at the moment although the stories are pretty identical to each other which I appreciate.

Chambers of Secrets is definitely better than Philosopher's Stone, but PS was a great introduction, so that's okay.

My least favourite of the series so far, the movie was actually worse, too. Hermoine was absolutely chaotic, but at least in the books, the explanation for her being that way was there.

I enjoyed the introduction of the new characters, but the plot could have been done so much better, in my opinion.

The ending was bizarre, and I can already see something causing a plot hole in the future.

I thought this was going to be more sci-fi, so was left feeling a bit disappointed. It also felt quite long for a short story.

Silvia Moreno-Garcia's writing and character work are still strong, and I liked the messaging, but unfortunately, I didn't enjoy Prime Meridian as much as The Return of the Sorceress and Mexican Gothic.
