Thank you to Netgalley for an advance copy of this book. PLEASE NOTE: This is a sequel. You don't necessarily get book.1 spoiled in this book, but you will see details from book 1 in book 2 that are important to the story.

The good:
- Everything still gets wrapped up neatly even though it's a sequel, simply because the mystery is not one really even mentioned that much in book 1 and a character just pops out of the nowhere to start this journey
- I enjoyed going back into Frances's journals and the way they are re-introduced makes sense to why we did not see these journals in book 1.
- This is a fast paced book, which I like
- I really enjoyed the multitude of mysteries in the book, but...

The loss of a star:
- Just like the first book, there is a lot going on and a lot of characters that you know from book 1 but that are also introduced in book 2 and I think some of the plot twists are simply because some plot points are hard to follow.

Overall, if you enjoyed book 1, you should definitely pick up book 2 to continue to story!
