Summary
From the authors of the New York Times bestselling novel Welcome to Night Vale and the creators of the #1 international podcast of the same name, comes a mystery exploring the intersections of faith and science, the growing relationship between two young people who want desperately to trust each other, and the terrifying, toothy power of the Smiling God.

Nilanjana Sikdar is an outsider to the town of Night Vale. Working for Carlos, the town’s top scientist, she relies on fact and logic as her guiding principles. But all of that is put into question when Carlos gives her a special assignment investigating a mysterious rumbling in the desert wasteland outside of town. This investigation leads her to the Joyous Congregation of the Smiling God, and to Darryl, one of its most committed members. Caught between her beliefs in the ultimate power of science and her growing attraction to Darryl, she begins to suspect the Congregation is planning a ritual that could threaten the lives of everyone in town. Nilanjana and Darryl must search for common ground between their very different world views as they are faced with the Congregation’s darkest and most terrible secret.

This entry impressed me in ways I don't think the first one ever did, while also having about as many new problems. But I feel like the struggle between needing something improbable to believe in and needing to seek the truth at all costs, while not explored as much as I may have liked, is more of a glue for many other stories about trauma and isolation and generally just being able to survive even if parts of your life seem terrible, all of which blew me away at their biggest story beats. And I totally buy the main romance, which in other stories feel corny and forced to me but was really allowed to breathe and wrestle with the will-they-wont-they in this book.
