A spiky profile - some good worldbuilding, but the characters are kind of adrift. The premise from the first book carries over pretty well, and it’s fun to spend a bit more time with Zoë and this alternate version of our world. But the characters just didn’t gel for me this time around. There were a *lot* of moments of people deciding to do things in seemingly arbitrary ways, and Zoë never reflects on this being weird. That, combined with other times where the plot veers abruptly without any kind of comment, left the book feeling unfinished. In book one, I really liked that Zoë was a character who reflected on her circumstances and I missed that here. Most of the fun that I had with this book was in enjoying the small bits of expanded worldbuilding that we got around citytalking, then taking the ‘what ifs’ that came from that and imagining other possible stories in my head. Additionally, there’s some pejorative language about mental health when talking about Granny Good Mae, who was misdiagnosed. (Zoë also seems to no longer think she was misdiagnosed?) There’s also some lazy anti-fat bias, a bit more overt than the first one in the series. (Fat as a generic stand-in for negative character traits, a couple of descriptions of fat bodies meant to evoke disgust.)

Another amazing book. It's nice to have a great author tell an amazing story. I loved her first book, Shambling Guide to New York City... This one was good!!! Can't wait for the next!
