I received a copy from HarperAlley through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Younwity, a secret school of magic, is still reeling from the events that nearly destroyed the entire place. Most people just want things to settle so they can move on, but a strange fissure has appeared and no one can close it. What’s worse is that the fissure is slowly breaking down the school grounds!
I absolutely loved the first volume, so I was extremely excited when I saw that volume two was on the way! Unfortunately, the story was all over the place. I think it was an interesting concept that could’ve worked, but it might’ve needed a whole new setting and characters rather than reopening an existing story. I even reread the first volume since it’d been a while and I still felt like I stepped into a new world that just happened to have the same characters.
While it wasn’t my favorite read, I still enjoyed the artwork and seeing how Abigail’s friendships have grown and become even stronger. I just wish the story itself was executed better on top of having a more solid and clear ending. It wasn’t a bad read, and if you’ve read the first book, I urge you to pick this up. Just head in knowing that it has a completely different vibe.
