Beneath the Willow #2
Jennara in Flux
They released the ancestral magicks of Lutia upon an unsuspecting world. Now they must find the courage to spin that wild power.
After one hundred and thirty years, the magicks have finally been released. With them, though, come unexpected dangers and blessings. Wild and unclaimed, the magicks are transforming the world faster than its people can comprehend, infusing the lands with new life while bringing its people to the brink of war.
The Royals have decreed that none may spin the magicks, upon penalty of death, sparking whispers of rebellion everywhere. Sehmah and Takeem, considered traitors to the throne for releasing the magicks, have been forced to retreat into the mountains of Lixor to escape execution. Separated from them and taken against her will into spinner territory, Jennifer struggles to adjust to the magicks she’s unexpectedly absorbed and the pivotal role she now plays in a war she never wanted to be part of, in a world she never believed could be real.
Now that the magicks are free, spinning them may mean the end to them all.

Jennara in Flux is the sequel to Sehmah's Truth, one of my favorite reads of the summer thus far. It takes place almost entirely within the portal fantasy world of Lutia. Jennifer, Samantha's aunt, has to make her way in this unfamiliar world, as war threatens all around.
I did enjoy this book, though it's not quite as emotional as the first in the series. However, it expands significantly on the worldbuilding within the fantasy world, which I appreciated a lot. The history of the different sorts of magic became clearer, and the stakes of the story gradually rose. Also, the ending did reintroduce the high emotional tenor of the first volume, and I got quite tearful at the very end.
The only thing I really wanted more of was books in this series. It seems like this story might remain unfinished, which really saddens me, since there's a ton left to explore and the plot is far from resolved!
