*3.5 stars*

This was not as good as the first book but it was still good. This book follows the same two main characters from book 1, which are inspired by Elizabeth and Darcy, but all the other characters are not present in this and their absence was very noticeable to me. I still really liked the main characters relationship and their chemistry but I missed their connections to other people.

Also, plotwise this felt like a side quest, where the characters had a lot of mini adventures and faced mini dangers, and those weren't that interesting to me. Nonetheless, I think the world and the magical creatures in this series are so fascinating, which compensated a little bit for the not-so-gripping plot.
