This sequel to Delphine and the Silver Needle delivers action, adventure, and magic in the most unexpected places. Fresh off the heels of King Midnight's rat-army invasion at the Winterberry Ball, Delphine, Alexander, and Cornichonne are on the run, making their way through the far reaches of Peltinore. Unlikely allies pop up at every turn, but so do new enemies. While evading the rats hot on their tails, the trio uncovers new clues about the legendary Threaded tailor mice, including surprising discoveries about Delphine's magical needle. And as Delphine's powers grow stronger, she realizes she may need to head straight into Midnight's lair and confront the villain herself. Will Delphine solve the mystery of the Threaded and save the kingdom from the nefarious rat king before it's too late?

What I liked:
The book is told from two point-of-views, the rats and the mice. The plot is filled with a war of rats versus mice which started in book one but took off in this one. Beyond the battle is the quest to figure out the needle's powers and delphine's past. She must learn to believe in herself as much as those around her do. It isn't always easy for her, and it is very relatable, not just for children but also for adults. Delphine also needs to understand right and wrong and has to choose between gaining more power for the right reasons, but having that much power has consequences.
Final Verdict:
This book has a darker feel compared to the first book, which is mainly a setup book for the series. If you loved book one, then book two will be a delight as Delphine takes on the Rat King and finds out all about who she is and who the threaded are
