I really liked this book. It's shorter than it feels. Meaning, that while the book is short, that lower page count doesn't waste pages. 

Winnie gets what she's wanted for the past four years, she and her family are back in the good graces of the other Luminaries. But it's not what she expected it to be like. She has some doubts about whether it's what she really wants. She has more questions than answers when it comes to the mysterious riddle her father left her. And nobody believes her about the Whisperer that attacks indiscriminately, but no one besides Winnie has seen it.

It's been nearly a full year since I read the first book, and Dennard does a great job when it comes to recapping what happened in the previous book without it feeling like tedious exposition.

I re-read my review of the first book before starting this one, to see if anything I assumed matched up with what I think now based on some reveals. And while one was answered, who the werewolf is, the other I can't remember who I thought the Diana (witch) was in the first book, but I don't think it's who I was suspecting.

There are a lot of questions that need answering, and this is a trilogy, so that means the third book when it comes out is going to be action-packed.
