(Re-read 11/19/20)


I 100% liked this one better than the first. I think this one is my favorite in the series. There were of course some minor things I didn't like, but I am just going to overlook them because of my overall enjoyment.

The minor things is all the repetition that happens. I'm just convinced that Shannon Messenger just really likes certain word, but I don't. I get too much second hand embarrassment. But since that seems to be a general trend that I can't change, I will just have to live with it.

Unlike the first book, which was very much formulaic and underwhelming compared to the rest of the series, I think it finally started to develop in a better way. I realize that overall this plot has a childish aura to it, but I read this for the first time when I was at the age it was targeted towards so being back in this world is a fun time.

Other things I liked were the character and relationship developments. I also liked how we were able to dive deeper into the mystery of the Black Swan, and since this is a re-read I am now noticing the foreshadowing which is always cool.

Overall, I recommend obviously, but to the right person, and I can't wait for the next book.
