This is an excellent sequel and I'm so excited for whenever the 3rd one comes out! I really enjoy Amari and all the other characters (even the ones I don't like). A great middle grade read.

The fantasy-prejudice Amari faces due to being a magician is a significant part of the book.

An explosive second book that promises an even more powerful third!
