Another brilliant book by TJ Klune. I was super nervous to start this one after loving the first in this serious so much, but silly me, I should have just trusted the author. I’ve learned my lesson. I loved how this story dovetailed both in and out of the first book in such a masterful way, seeing things from multiple perspectives seems to be one of TJ’s master skills. This book is very surprising in the tone it takes as well as in the multiple plot twists. I am so thankful for the “calm before the storm” parts of this book as well as the storms. If you loved the first you absolutely must read this one. I enjoy these so much that I gave myself a month or so in-between the books so as not to burn out on them but again, silly me. I didn’t even realize I would like books like this (fantasy with some romance). I recently discovered “cozy sci-fi” and I will suggest these books are a bit of “cozy-fantasy.” Maybe its the time we are living in (politics, covid-19) but the idea of suspense, mystery mixed with love and good feelings seems to be doing the trick right now. Go read it! P.S. I almost forgot, the narration is perfection, and I mean PERFECTION, like always with Kirt Graves.
