Second and latest book in what promises to be a lengthy series. In my review of book one, I desribed it as “sufficiently akin to *Harry Potter* in premise and story to bear the comparison, but not so similar that you feel like you’ve read it before,” and that assessment holds in book two. It’s a sequel, so I won’t share any detail that might spoil what has come before, but will say only that I continue to enjoy its middle-grade-ish mix of absurdity, deathly seriousness, and fun storytelling.
