This sequel did not disappoint! Amari is quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite MG fantasy series. Just like the first book, this one hooks you in right from the start and keeps you wanting to turn the pages until you get to the end. I can't wait for book 3! With the way things ended, I need my hands on that book NOW! Definitely another fav book of 2022!

Content Warnings: Bullying, racism (magical racism between the magicians/"unwanteds" and the rest of the supernatural world), classism, emotional abuse & manipulation, abuse of power by an authority figure, medical abuse, and war. (

Lovely cover but the pacing felt off with this one. The brunt of the story is Amari faces magician prejudice worries about brother miscommunication with Elsie rinse and repeat until the end.

I was glad to learn more about Maria and VanQuish, but Jayden (Amari's friend from her neighborhood) seemed underused as well as the new character Tristian (who was very one-note). I hope to see more of Jayden in the other books.

Also, I'm not entirely against... Lara redemption. It's good for kids to know you can always make a change for the better, but I don't see how Amari is friends with her horrid former bully. I'm all for being cordial and forgiveness is good, but no way would we be besties. it's just not realistic.

I would've believed Lara's change more if I saw the seedlings in this book before fully developing and her apologizing in book 3. Felt slightly rushed but kids may think differently

Overall, very slow-moving (and at times repetitive), but I’m happy to see another Amari book. The last 25% was much more engaging than the first 75%, and the ending promises to ramp things up in the next book.

Amari and the Night Brothers Review (

Great follow-up to the first -- I like how it's a similar mystery set-up, and once again the adults are hampered in a way that Amari is not. I do feel like the adults are bad at... being adults? Creating a reasonable and fair society? Oh, wait. That's true for a lot of places, isn't it. Anyway, I like the twists and turns, and I'm very interested to see what happens next. Good compassion demonstrated on multiple occasions, and how to navigate friendships. (

The second book in this series, Amari faces new adventures as she meets other magicians. The secret magician group invites Amari to be their leader and take them to war against the bureau. Amari rejects this position and then is informed that the new magician leader will be Dylan, her former partner and recently escaped prisoner. Amari doesn’t want Dylan in charge, so she commits to a series of challenges against Dylan which will result in one of them losing their magic and likely their life. This book is full of action, adventure, suspense, and multiple mysteries. I really enjoyed reading about the next part of Amari’s journey and loved the twists and unexpected turns.

Cliffhanger nooo!!! I want #3 now, pretty, pretty please???

Amari is back for more summer supernatural adventures, this time as a Junior Agent.
And she has lots of learning and investigating to work through.
Some old friends/foes and some new friends/foes.
Amari is sucked into a scary competition called the Great Game which has far-reaching consequences. (
