Sydney’s growth into a confident leader is the standout arc, joined by Carmy’s greater humility and Richie’s maturity. Some breakthroughs arrive implausibly fast or repeat earlier lessons.

Constance’s pact and some of the human grief material add welcome depth. Ben can feel underwritten, and critics of the second batch find the returning characters largely static.
