Amari, my girllll. I feel for her. Always trying to protect the people you love around you and at what cost? Alston does such a wonderful job of immersing young readers into this realm of magic and supernatural phenomena. The way that the Bureau is set up is so unique and wonderfully imagined that I myself feel like a junior agent keeping the peace. 

Following Amari on this journey, picking up where we left her after all things Dylan and the Night Brothers, was an adventure. She is learning how to weird her magic and also her emotions and who’s to say that they’re not one and the same? I think that’s something that Amari comes to discover as she trudges forward in absorbed boggling case of time freezes and integrity. Who’s telling the truth? Who hiding behind lies ? It was a powerful book that shows power in belief in yourself rather than your abilities. I’m excited for book three. We fall down to get back up Amari ! So get up girl, we’ve got a world to save !
