I found myself not enjoying this one as much as the first book, and I think it's due entirely to the secondary story that's in it. I love Torrance and West, but I wish Carrie gave us more lore on this alternative world she has made by writing about discoveries of diseases, viruses and the likes in the same fashion she did in the first book when she wrote the lore for Arcanism. Such a missed opportunity.
I ended up quickly skimming the Torrance and West parts because I found them boring. Ava's story was far more exciting and interesting.
She ended this second book by leaving room for a potential third. But even though I enjoyed this duology, I hope there is never a third book in the series. It's fine where it ended.
