This fell short for me, I felt we didn't need a sequel. The first book was so good, I don't know about this book, it wasn't my favorite. I just couldn't get into it.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Second entry in the series adds more drama, more compassion, and arguable as the character has aged so has the maturity and strength of the book. The plot is strong and the characters believable in what is a decent read, I will look out for the next book in the series to read. Well worth reading.

The first and the fourth are by and far the best books of this series that I've read, though I found out through StoryGraph that there even is a fifth book. Will have to check it out. As a series-wide review, though, the Indian in the Cupboard series firmly captures a sense of whimsy, adventure, and discovery while also holding a sense of wonder for the past and the people that came before the reader. It isn't necessarily perfectly historically accurate in the portrayal of those past characters, but it does endear the reader to them.

I love this series. This one was a little slow to get off the ground, and ended a bit abruptly. But in between was nostalgic and full of the characters we love from the first book, with some new characters and new cupboard magic, to keep it from being simply a repetition of the first book.

Yet another series that aided me in discovering my love of reading.

Wonderful second installment! While initially I took issue with Omri abandoning his thoughtful nature and bringing whatever crew he needed to life in order to fight the skin heads, I realize now that it is a great sub-plot which helps to illustrate how he would go along with the "now-guns" plan as as he is able to empathize so easily with Little Bear and his plight.
