I received an ARC of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own and were not affected by the free copy.

Amelia Jones is back again! She saved Mystwick from her composition gone wrong, became an official student, and is ready to learn to use her powers with her very own teacher to help her. With their first Composer in 20 years, Mystwick can finally enter the international magic competition. However, the Midnight Orchestra, half performance, half black magic, is interested in her, and she wonders if they can help her Compose. But they aren't all they appear, and everything goes superbly wrong. Can Amelia Compose them out of trouble this time?

I was thrilled when the first book came out. Music creates magic? Yes, please! This book did not disappoint. Our old characters continue to develop and new characters fill some voids (evil villains! Muh ha ha). Amelia does slightly better in this book, trusting her friends and asking for help, but there wouldn't be much of a plot line if she hid nothing.

The pictures in the book were absolutely stunning; my favorite is from the battle of the rock bands-so pretty! I wish there were a few more, but I always looked forward to the next one and enjoyed them a lot. They actually even worked on a Kindle. I was concerned they wouldn't convert well, but they looked great.

The only "downside" in this book were that the plot twists were fairly obvious. However, this is a middle grade book, so to some extent, that is to me expected. I cannot wait for book 3 to come out and will absolutely keep reading. This book is perfect for anyone that enjoys magic and/or music.
