The cliffhangers 😤🤯. Book 2 was definitely messy with a lot more revelations and characters introduced. Some stuff felt a bit repetitive, but I guess with book 2 being so lengthy the author needed us readers to stay engaged.

Quan is a mess, lol I need a visual of him.
Souxie is a bit cray 🤪 🤏🏾🤣🤣, but I like her.

I enjoyed the book overall I just need this wrapped up in book 3. It will just feel overly explained if we dont know who keeps un-a-living students on campus and having it pointed in the direction of Maggie Grey.

The cliffhanger again is just how you know you can’t wait to read/listen to the next book! Compared to the first book, I liked the way the story continues for Maggie and her friends at Drew Collins. There’s still new characters to get to know and connects more interesting into the different mythical families as well as reveals how their history is getting ready to repeat itself. The ending was interesting with the conversation between Bellamy and the fantasy author. Wonder why this was written this way? Definitely worth the following as I can see why there are so many fans!

I just may be a fantasy girl! I really enjoyed this. Sometimes it was difficult keeping up with each character, but over all I enjoyed the story. Ready for part 3

This series is dragging and I want to LOVE it so bad! This is the 2nd book and still can’t really articulate whats going on that justifies the length of these books and the series.

I love Susie, Quan, Nameer, and Maggie’s brother but Maggie herself is boring.

I don’t know what’s going on but imma keep reading because I’m committed to the concept. I might even reread the series once it done.
