Is this book basically a copy of the first, but with ~amnesia~? Yes. But, it's well written, the characters are compelling, the magic is fun but doesn't solve every problem, and the tropes of the genre are well executed. This novel follows expected patterns, but in a way that feels satisfying rather than boring or frustrating. Questions the reader has are addressed by characters in ways that feel natural to the narrative and not as if they are trying to address reader concerns. The world building is fun and most of the characters genuinely like each other, which is just nice to read.
