grav_ityThis is the sequel to Madly/The Potion Diaries, which I read last year and really enjoyed. Basically, it's modern England/Europe, but with magic, so everything is slightly more complicated, as you do. It's a "light" fantasy, which means it's a fun read and there's not death and rape all over the place, which I also really appreciate.
Anyway, Sam, our heroine, continues to make potions and defend the crown princess. There's magic and science, friendship and romance, adventure and family legacy, allies and betrayal...all the good stuff, really. Alward's world-building is top notch, and the structure of the book is also excellent. I don't think the book suffers from 'second book' syndrome (the trilogy will end next year), which is also nice.
