Enjoyed this one a little more than the first. It picks up right where the first one left off, but really raised the stakes. We get more fantasy stuff - Laia's power and Jinn and the Nightbringer - and some more twists and turns. The pacing and writing could still be a little improved, but the characters were all great, especially Helene who is really conflicted in this one and gets her own POV. Excited to see where it all leads to!
