Where the first book left me a bit cold (not helped by Ljosland as the setting), this book has exactly what I hoped for book two. The logistics of the journal as the medium of storytelling had improved a lot, giving more logic to the entrances without giving too much away. As always, the book had amazingly vivid imagery in its worldbuiding, especially when it came to the Alpine view, the fae, and their realm. Rose’s and Adriane’s characters added more whimsy, but also more realism for me. I also started to understand Emily’s and Wendell’s relationship dynamics more in this book, which made it much more enjoyable of a read. I have really grown to love Fawcett’s writing style and I can’t wait for the third book.
