The book version of a popcorn movie.

I liked this well enough for much of my read, but it does feel like some things remain mysterious just because there is a sequel and not because the mystery benefits the narrative. I also found the condescending nameless character who appears in most of the documents to be more than a little grating.

This book is very readable but I don’t think I am going to become one of the die hard DCC fans. I’ll probably read the other books, but more as popcorn fare than because they are doing anything too exciting

One of my all time favorite books. Such characters, such friendships! Such villainy and such a good story about misjudging monsters and heroes.

This is one of my favorite series I've ever read. It's difficult to give a lot of details without risking spoilers, but I will say that this book, the second in the series, opens up the world from the first offers some really satisfying resolution to questions raised in the first, and continues to develop the mystery driving the story. Part of what makes the books so good is the fully developed and realized characters and their relationships. It's hard not to be drawn into caring about Rowan and Bel and the people they spend time with.

very quick read, not very subtle. The ending was underwhelming.
