I read the first part of this duology last year and just got it off the waitlist. Sadly, this one dove into the parts of the first book I liked the least. Things picked up once the love interests found each other again, but that was most of the way though. I didn't love the ending and found it a little confusing. The exploration of team magic was, as in the last book, the highlight of the book. I also loved the secondary romance, though there was too little of it for me.
