Nach dem ersten Band war ich mir unsicher, ob mich diese Buchreihe doch noch überzeugen kann, aber ich war positiv überrascht, denn der 2. Band gefiel mir sogar mehr als der erste!

A fabulous continuation of the series!

After the artifact of Black London has been sent back to where it came from Kell and Lila have gone separate ways. While Lila finally gos on an adventure like she always wanted to, Kell is struggling with his guilt over recent events and his new bond to Rhy. But their paths are destined to cross again as the Essen Tasch, the Elemental Games, are coming to London together with the most powerful magicians of Arnes and it's neighbours. And where so much magic and power are concentrated, new trouble is certain to arise... The second novel of the series starts at a little slower pace than the first. New characters are introduced as well as new circumstances (e.g. Lila being a pirate) and problems (e.g. Rhy and Kell struggling with their new bond), so while the plot might not be full of action and drama, it is still a very enjoyable read. And as the story develops and the Essen Tasch drawing nearer one is nearly relieved over the small 'break' that V. E. Schwab has given us readers at the start because the pace gets insanely fast! A spellbinding continuation of the series with a very nasty cliffhanger, intriguing new characters, great character development and several surprises you never see coming! Definitely a must-read!
