I might have liked this one better than the first one! At least for me, it was a bit more on the spooky side. The whole catacomb thing definitely creeped me out more than the first book. Schwab also builds on the world she created in the first one, all in great ways. Jacob and Cass's relationship is also evolving and I can't wait to see where it goes next.

One of the things I also like about this series is that Schwab has a knack for changing tone between audiences. It doesn't feel like she's talking down to middle grade readers, but instead getting on their level. It's really effective, and you can tell that Schwab has a real talent for writing.
