Kayla M's Reviews > City of Illusion

A fabulous follow up to City of Secrets! I enjoyed the continuity of the story and the way the elements are mirrored throughout the cities created in Ying's books. The sense of unity appears in more than just the continuity of the books, but is the main theme of the plot. In order for Hannah and Ever to stop the villain, Vash, they need to work not only with each other, but with another band of children. I love middle grade novels with a moral of "work together to achieve your goals." For a target audience at the stage in their life of finding their independence, reminders to rely on each other and ask for help when needed are important.
