Night Myst by Yasmine Galenorn

Oh boy, I have completely changed my mind about this book. It wasn't as good as I remembered and everything just felt slightly off. The abundance of explainers slipped into conversation is the first major complaint that I had. I felt like they were just blatantly put there with no effort to disguise them and even though explainers are almost a requirement for books like these, I felt like other books integrate them better into the conversation and the flow of the book.
I really wanted to be able to re-read and love this book like I did when I first read it. In fact, I wasn't even going to reread it because I thought it was so good that I would of course remember what had happened in the first book and there was no reason to remind myself before diving into the second book. Oh how wrong I was.
The idea is great, sure, but it's not executed perfectly. I wouldn't actively dissuade someone from reading it, but I'm sure as hell not going to recommend it.
