Eine wunderbare Fortsetzung der Reihe mit Einleitung ins nächste Buch. Ich bin gespannt, wo es hingeht und was die Zukunft für Cassidy und Jacob bringt.

 Eu gostei mais dessa leitura, por ter um quê sombrio maior, ao mesmo tempo que me deixou mais instigada de entender tudo que estava acontecendo. Gostei de ter um desfecho mais bem trabalhado que o primeiro livro, na minha opinião, foi mais intenso, condizente com a narrativa como um todo, dessa vez não fiquei com a sensação de que foi fácil demais para uma criança de 12 anos (sigo inconformada com isso rsrsrsrs mas agora, parando pra pensar com mais calma, HP e Percy Jackson também tinham essa idade nas primeiras aventuras, ou seja, será que é um sintoma de ficar mais velha?! Achando coisa de jovem demais rsrsrsrs). 
O gancho para o terceiro e último livro da trilogia me pegou demais, estou curiosíssima para entender o que está rolando e como dona VE Schwab vai finalizar esse universo.

I might have liked this one better than the first one! At least for me, it was a bit more on the spooky side. The whole catacomb thing definitely creeped me out more than the first book. Schwab also builds on the world she created in the first one, all in great ways. Jacob and Cass's relationship is also evolving and I can't wait to see where it goes next.

One of the things I also like about this series is that Schwab has a knack for changing tone between audiences. It doesn't feel like she's talking down to middle grade readers, but instead getting on their level. It's really effective, and you can tell that Schwab has a real talent for writing.
