Another new major role are Kavinsky and a hitman called the Grey Man - both equally entertained me in different ways, I didn't excpect either to be this adorable in their vile ways.
My personal favorite is the added lore to dreaming. Given I have a disability with lots of ugly dreams, I can highly agree with Ronan's perspective and actions and am a bit jealous about his powers, haha. I'd love a more deep dive in the future, let's see if we get it.
There's also lots of teenage angst, including the romance department. I found it to be okay and not too annoying as it pushes the characters onward and shows their internal thoughts and feelings about the actions of the others.
Shhhh, Blue's mother Maura gets a romance, too! I enjoyed that.
Trigger warnings of the book are stated in the review stats. The only major thing is drug abuse by Ronan and Kavinsky, but we know that already by the first book. Their... relationship? Is rather toxic, please beware.
I give this book 4 stars, for I found the beginning too slow. I still enjoyed it and give a definite recommendation for everyone who liked the first book. I will definitely be reading the next one soon.
