Bookburners: The Complete Season 2 by Mur Lafferty, Max Gladstone, Amal El-Mohtar, Andrea Phillips, Margaret Dunlap, Brian Francis Slattery

3.0

This was a good read, but it does pale in comparison to Season 1. This collection feels more episodic and less of a single piece than the previous book did, until the last 4 episodes or so. The epilogue did nothing for me.

Spoiler

Mostly because I don’t recall where Perry was left in the last book, and the idea of restarting Team Four — the magic users — felt unnecessary.

That said, it’s still impressive that a bunch of diverse writers can all create entries which feel remarkably cohesive over 800 pages. Even working from the same outline that seems tough. So kudos to whoever it is at Serial Box who shepherds these books to publication.
