I did love some parts of this sequel as much as the first book, but I fear it had lost some of its cozy vibes. The adventures felt a lot bigger than what I personally wanted for this book series. 

I still like the way it’s written, the footnotes are a really nice touch to show Emily’s character and I grew to like both her and Wendell a lot more in this. 

Sometimes this did drag on a bit though. I didn’t really love the landscape in this, maybe I was just a bit too confused to fully grasp it and appreciate it. Maybe I just wanted something simpler. Idk! Either way, I will definitely tune in to this series again when the third book comes out. I am far too invested in the characters now to be able to back off.
