A Dream So Dark

This book felt a bit more focused than the first one - more could happen because a lot of concepts have already been explained.

The family dynamic in this one is great, and while the adventure does meander a bit (we spend way too long in one side character's POV when they don't really have that much interesting to say) the story keeps up a good pace with lots of fun action moments.

I do still find the romances quite silly (though I do think this is the first YA I've read with a het romance where both characters were bi, which is kind of cool) and the Japanese characters seemed kind of underwritten, but overall the book was good.
