An engaging, imaginative continuation of Pantomime, and it even sought to rectify some of the problems I had in the beginning on the first book: Micah's problematic descriptions of who are supposed to be the marginalized people in this world are corrected. An example, Micah is told: "There is an air of mystique to the foreign, mostly born of rumor and ignorance." (Although the narrator only seems to learn this while in brown face, so...) The author also put in a great short scene wherein stalking and liking someone basically as a trophy is not ok or romantic. The word abortion was even mentioned (just notable as so much media dances around the word, although the minor (historical) character does unfortunately die of it).
