Another amazing book by Libba Bray. This was a great sequel to A Great and Terrible Beauty, and once again I couldn't put this down.

Despite the annoying characters, it's a fun and fast-paced story.

Personally think it's less polished than the 1st one. i'm not agree on some of the details. it has an ok ending, though.

5/5 ⭐️

IM IN AWE I’m writing this review at two in the morning because that was when I finished this book. I am absolutely amazed by this wonderful work of art, I can’t even produce a coherent sentence to explain how incredible this was, tomorrow I’ll try to write something a little more understandable

And for a moment, I understand that I have friends on this lonely path; that sometimes your place is not something you find, but something you have when you need it.

Okay, an actual review: This was a rollercoaster, a mess, a never-ending series of laughs, gasps and tears, all at the same time. The writing improved in this one too, A LOT, and the plot thickened incredibly, as well. Moreover, the characters were a lot more tri-dimensional than in A Great and Terrible Beauty.

All in all, I would 100% recommend reading this book, it's a masterpiece, believe me. And I don't say this many times!

I still feel the way I did about the first of this series. However, I think this second book escalated to deeper, darker places, which is an automatic win in my book. Another reviewer on Goodreads described this series as Harry Potter meets Mean Girls, I agree, but let's also add a tad of Twilight (love interest (s)). I like that Bray seems to be more willing to dig into the psyche of other characters a bit in this second book in a way that adds depth to characters that I cared less about in the first book. I look forward to see how the third book expands the story, the characters, and the power of the realms.
