BETTER
I was thrown by the abrupt tone shift from book 1 to book 2. Now that I've been in book 2 for a while I'm more acclimated. I still think this would have been a much better book if it had the tone of book 1, but it's not a bad book as it is, just a lost opportunity to have been better.
-I'm still geeking out that it's set in an obscure Russian Sci-Fi novel from 1972.

A little less fun, and a lot less funny.
Book 1 showed how great it is to be a magical girl
book 2 says that crystal is wrong and that its no fun to be a magical girl
What a way to strangle a franchise in the cradle
Props for setting this whole book in Roadside Picnic by Arkady Strugatsky, but maybe that would have worked better with Stray Cay or Dead Tired.
