I love this world but didn't enjoy this book as much as the first one. The conflict wasn't as interesting or at least not as developed but seemed more akin to a classic ghost story than the first book. I realise that this was written for children rather than a middle-aged adult like me but I felt Schwab dumbed down Cassidy too much. She's 12 and in modern times, not an infant. A pre-teen in 2019 is going to know basically what a crepe is. I also worry that her parents aren't really providing any sort of education since she knew absolutely nothing about Paris and some of the things she wondered about seemed... worrying. Still, these are fun books and I love ghost stories. I would love a book focusing on Jacob or his backstory since we still don't know anything about it besides he drowned and he's not willing to share with Cassidy.
