A good follow up to the Good Luck Girls. I like that they had a bigger group in this and that people really started to work together. Violet will sanction your morally dubious acts and I love her for it. I really enjoyed the characters of Raven and Derrick but adding more characters with so much going on meant other dynamics suffered a bit imo. Would have liked to see more of Clementine & Aster's bond. Also to have a little more time developing the romantic relationship between Aster and [redacted].

This is everything I wanted from a sequel to The Good Luck Girls. It feels like the author read my mind.
This book takes the world created in the first book and expands it, showing the systemic issues underneath and all the groups trying to stop them. The Good Luck Girls was a group of scrappy teens fighting for survival, this is them teaming up with other downtrodden people to change the world.
I enjoyed the western trappings (the bar brawl was so fun), the new characters were great, and while I did feel the romantic drama in the middle dragged a bit, I like how it ended up.
If you liked the first one I would definitely recommend this.
