Helpful Score: 1

I enjoyed this book much more than the first of the Circle of Magic quartet. The characters are becoming more distinct, and the dynamics of their relationships are changing, bringing them closer, though there still seems to be a bit of remaining apprehension between them. The magic is complex, but does seem a little too easy to execute for the kids given that they're still supposed to be in the beginning stages of learning about their abilities, and the craft descriptions are still slightly excessive to me. Though this book had a more clear plot to it than the previous one, and I'm curious about next one in the quartet, I'm still not sure where this series is actually going and what the general climax is supposed to be/what the children are working towards.
