Ropa is back - this time with a gig with the actual Magic Society, with Sir Callander as her mentor. Unfortunatley, it's an unpaid internship and Ropa has to figure out a way to get some money. Priya needs her help with a patient - and Ropa is just the person to figure out the cause of the mysterious illness.
Of course, things being as they are, everything is somehow connected and the case she is working for the Society becomes tangled up in her investigation for Priya.
The second book throws some light on what happend to Scotland back then and the relationship to England now (way too little in my opinion - I need an entire book about this!) and teases with hints and things half-said about Ropa's Gran (I also need to know so much more).
I love Ropa's unique voice and the way she tells the story. However, I thought I would get more information on England and Scottish magic as well as Ropa's Gran.
The case is solved in the end (with some turns and connections I did not really see coming) but there are some things that are left slightly open for another time.
