I feel like this book did not do much to move forward from book one. Yes, the plot moved forward. Sure, the characters learned more of the world and grew up a little. But overall I felt like it was just another YA novel… nothing I will remember having read in a few years. If there was a book three out already I would likely read it because I am a completionist, but I won’t be holding my breath and if I notice it release later (feels unlikely from here in 2023 considering the publication dates of the first two) I will decide based on if I remember the plot of this one at all.
