Solid 4.5/5

So funny story: I put this book on hold in the library as soon as I found out about the series. And I realized when I added it on Goodreads, it was a 2018 publishing date (as I categorized it that way.) And yet, I checked, obsessively, for months as to when these people in front of me would get through this novella so I could fall back into the world.

This novella takes us back to the school, showing us the characters who were left after the events of book 1, and introducing two new ones: Cora and Rini. I'm still working out my feelings for Cora, which is why this book doesn't get a solid 5 from me. I am not sure I liked her at all, honestly. But I still loved the story. This book offers more of an understanding of the different worlds, a new adventure, and (at least for me) several scenes worth tearing up over. (And it always happens on the subway!)

As I got to about 75% of the way through the book, I had to stop for a day to slow down the adventure, but to also realize that this book was going to end, and I wasn't sure which ending I wanted or if I would be satisfied with either. I'm happy with it though.

Please keep writing more - I'll always want to revisit this series.
