This was a strong sequel in the Descendants of the Zodiac series, it had that writing style that I've enjoyed from Katie Zhao and the other books from her. It had that element that I was expecting and enjoyed from the first book and from the genre. It uses the Zodiac elements perfectly and was glad it was everything that I enjoyed. The characters were written perfectly and am excited for more.

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

A quick easy read and wonderful continuation. The storytelling was amazing and kept me hooked the whole time.

The conclusion of the Descendants of the Zodiac duology falls into the style of storytelling started in Zodiac Rising. We expand the world to travel beyond New York to London for part of the story, but keep mostly to the same central characters. The adventure plays out in a way that is perhaps predictable but also an easy read. I overall like the premise of this duology, but the one thought that strikes me about the execution is that the target audience feels to be on the lower side of YA, perhaps leaning toward middle grades. I was left curious by another detail, that though this book is described as the second of a duology, the end seems to leave a hook for a follow up.
I received advanced digital access to this book thru NetGalley (for which I want to thank NetGalley and the publisher, Random House Children's, Random House Books for Young Readers) for an honest review. The opinion expressed here is my own.
