This was a solid sequel. While the Bone Season introduces the Rephaim’s world, this delved deeper into the Mime Order. I enjoyed getting to see Paige and the rest of the Seven more as they have been her family and life for the most recent 3 years. This book and series overall is a steady and slow burn; it’s satisfying, but I’m hungry for more dynamics. I felt similar while reading A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab for the first time, so I have a feeling that upon rereads, I’m going to develop a deeper love for this series.
