I really enjoyed this read. I found this to be a great sequel. I thought this book was a great fast pace adventure read. It was such a great middle grade that really dived into the elements of politices and I loved it. I also really loved how the cast of the immediate crew expanded. I also loved how this book focused on so many creatures and animals. It was such a prefect spring read. I thought the ending was surpising. I can't wait to read book 3!
