Status Updates From Inkspell (Inkworld, #2)

So far, a lot of the same problems as the last one. Lots of random side actions that do nothing but bulk up the word count (what is the purpose of having Mo leave to do a job, and then return immediately when there's danger?? I figured he would run into trouble on his own end to make his departure part of the plot but no he just returns?? With no issue?? Like there was no actual reason to include it in the story???)
