In addition to the ordinary problems of a Puerto Rican teenager in Brooklyn, Sierra Santiago is working on developing her shadowshaping skills, and she is beginning to think she may need all the skill she can summon because it seems that when she channeled hundreds of spirits through herself in order to defeat Wick she woke up something very powerful and very unfriendly and put her family and friends at risk.

It took a bit for me to get back into the world, but when I did I really appreciated how Older grew this book beyond magic and spirits to show how school for teens of color often feels like an incarceral experience. I enjoyed Sierra's character and family growth and continue to appreciate how the idea of magic in this book is inextricably linked with family history and love for elders. A solid continuation that teens will continue to enjoy. Plus, Izzy's raps were great, and again, Anika Noni Rose KILLED the audio!
