4 stars
| I liked this one a bit more than the first book. While I enjoyed the first one, there was a decent amount of setup, which resulted in some slowness plot-wise. This one was pretty much already set up so the story could move a little more quickly. As with the first book, I loved the various characters that made an appearance (Cleopatra from Cleopatra in Space, along with Darth Vader, E.T., Bone, Batman, Indian Jones, Pocahontas?, Ariel?, and many more). It makes the book even more fun looking out for other well-known characters. I also really enjoyed when characters sort of broke the fourth wall by referencing speech bubbles or calling themselves out for recapping. Very funny. Same great characters with all new problems. I just can’t get enough of Red’s character. Despite what other characters think of her, she is instantly likeable and entertaining. Can’t wait to read the third book. Goodreads |
