An explosive second book that promises an even more powerful third! With the Supernatural Congress frozen in an act of apparent terrorism, Amari blamed and suspected of the attack, and the threat of the League of Magicians going to war if Amari doesn't win the Great Game, the Good Magician has her plate full. An amazing sequel where I can never predict what happens next and where I can find something to admire about every character (yes, even Dylan and his struggle with choosing evil when he enjoys being good ). Excited for the finale!

I really enjoyed this book but I have to be honest that the first book was much better... there was a lot going on in this book and it could almost have been split into at least two stories... BUT the twists and the ending were fantastic! And of course I feel fiercely protective of these kids! I love that friendship is so important and integral in this series.
