A truly phenomenal sequel to one of my favorite books I've read this year. I feel like sometimes second books suffer from "could this just have been one longer (or edited) book?" but this story builds off what was started in book one in such a beautiful way, adding more depth to the universe and the characters we already knew. Absolutely adore this, have recommended it to everyone I know.
