Apprentice to the Villain (Assistant and the Villain, 2)
"Evie Sage has never been happier to be the assistant to The Villain. Who would have thought that working for an outrageously handsome (shhh, bad for his brand) evil overlord would be so rewarding? Still, the business of being bad is demanding, the forces of good are annoyingly persistent, and said forbidding boss is somewhat...er, out-of-evil-office. But Rennedawn is in grave trouble, and all signs, Kingsley's included, point to catastrophe. Something peculiar is happening with the kingdom's magic, and it's made The Villain's manor vulnerable to their enemies...including their nemesis, the king."--

(2.5-2.75) The plot points felt much more discombobulated than in the first book. I did like the characters that were introduced, but their arrival felt like an attempt to push the plot forward without actually moving the central conflict toward resolution. I also felt that the new characters overly adopted Evie’s thoughts and mannerisms, as if they had to mirror her in order to be agreeable. The push and pull between Trystan and Evie also started to get annoying, since it felt like something that could have been easily resolved with a solid conversation.
Will I keep reading? Well yes! For the whimsy!

Just not good.
I think my main issue is that nearly every time a conflict was introduced, it was resolved almost immediately.

The 2nd of a trilogy is generally expected to be a dud. This one is not.
The character development and addition gif characters makes this a very fun follow-up and starts right in the middle of excitement.
I guessed a lot of what happened but it made me so happy I truly enjoyed this book and the direction this story is going in
