3 Stars ! 
 Majority of the reviews say that this one was better than the first but I don't think so... 
 While I am enjoying The Paper Magician series because it's a quick read/listen, I wish the books were longer. The ending of this one felt rushed and it was a lot to be more desired.. Honestly this series feel like it should more for middle grade than YA. So I have a feeling that the whole series is going to receive 3 stars across the broad cause it's enjoyable but not spectacular. On to the 3rd one!
