This is gorgeous; heavier than the first one. Nick & Caro & Fin are more established in a way that's truly original in YA and fairy-tale remixes, and those sections were beautiful.
The pacing is... off. I can't tell how much of that is from time since I read book 1 or actual wordcount allocation weirdness, it just rushes and hangs at weird times, eliding months in a sentence and spending chapters on single hours.
The culture of Faerie is fascinating and, again, stunningly progressive - pronouns and family structures and the entire society, all built on trust. Plus magic. Of course.
