The second volume of this AP has good things going for it... and some pacing issues. *Spoilers ahead!*
First of all, I think most players will be fairly surprised at the sudden decision of Janatimo to nominate them as conversants that soon in the AP. While my players all knew the student arc was only the first two books, none of them really expected for it to happen a mere summer after they've became attendants. As written, there's not a big gap between the two, not enough to be really significant of an achievement.
Second of all, the second chapter has some highlights in the form of tasks really succeeding on putting the emphasis on the community aspect of the Magaambya. However, letting players choose in what order they do the tasks can end up a bit wonky, since you can end up not hearing about Froglegs for a few tasks in a row. In other words, the menace doesn't make itself seen nor heard of enough.
My players and I really enjoyed the Sekmin arc of the adventure and the reveals that the Egg was most likely causing the aggregation of insects and other arthropods at and under the school.
A nice follow-up to Kindled Magic, but the menace feels way lower than it did in other APs, which i do not think was for the best.
