"The debts of the father must be paid."
Okay, now that the first book laid the groundwork for the new story after a lot of infodumping and "as you know" character conversations, I’m extremely pleased with book two. The two points of view from the first book are back here, with Olive Paper working her way through her own identity issues and stepping out from behind her family’s legacy and Darin Bales coming to terms with his own weaknesses and working to overcome them. It was great seeing them come together as unique characters and not just existing by merit of being the children of great people.
Really no complaints about this one, it hits all the same high notes from the first series with a new cast of characters that tackles things their own way. Olive Paper was far and away my favorite viewpoint of the two here, but I also enjoyed Darin’s interactions with his friends and how he leverages the powers he struggles to control in taking care of those around him.
Can’t wait for the next book!
