Customer Reviews
Great sequel
This was an amazing sequel. I felt it was a little rush, but it was still so good. I love that. I’m able to learn lessons and apply them to my life. It almost reminds me of the lemony Snicket series, especially how Lina and Doon I always finding a way to solve almost like Klaus and Violet.
THIS MADE ME LOVE BOOKS 💜
I ideally hate reading books, but then I saw this I decided to give it a try (I read the first book too) and I gotta say, now I love reading books!! This book is amazing. And I totally recommend this book.
