Amazing, powerful, fantastic, everything I love about the magic of fiction! This second installment in the series was even darker than Ninth House, which is saying something. The stakes were SO high throughout, and I was constantly wondering how Alex was going to get herself out of this one. It made it quite a page turner. With new adventures, new monsters, and a deeper dive into characters we’ve already been introduced to, this checks all the boxes for a good sequel. There’s a specific location at Yale that plays a huge role in this book, and it absolutely fascinated me. Yale and New Haven are already so delightfully spooky, even without the added fictional magical elements! I REALLY want to visit.
