These books have so much unfulfilled potential. As a tribute to the authors referenced in the book, this does a pretty good job - the feeling of a Susan Cooper or a DWJ is there - but these are children's authors and I expect more character agency and development in a YA/adult book.

I really enjoyed the first book in the series but this one just fell a little flat for me.

Overly descriptive of pointless items. I enjoyed the previous book but this one was mostly arduous.
