The second book was even more enjoyable than the first, but I ended up giving it the same rating because I guessed a few of the plot twists, and the ending felt a bit too abrupt, clearly setting up the third book.
That said, I was completely hooked by the story. This time, Tella takes the spotlight as she enters Caraval with much higher stakes than before. I also loved learning more about the sisters' family history, which added more depth to the story and made the journey even more enjoyable.
