The Copper Gauntlet (Magisterium, #2)
Holly Black
Callum Hunt’s summer break isn’t like other kids’. His closest companion is a Chaos-ridden wolf, Havoc. His father suspects him of being secretly evil. And, of course, most kids aren’t heading back to the magical world of the Magisterium in the fall. It’s not easy for Call . . . and it gets even harder after he checks out his basement and discovers that his dad might be trying to destroy both him and Havoc. Call escapes to the Magisterium -- but things only intensify there. The Alkahest -- a copper gauntlet capable of separating certain magicians from their magic -- has been stolen. And in their search to discover the culprit, Call and his friends Aaron and Tamara awaken the attention of some very dangerous foes -- and get closer to an even more dangerous truth.

This one was so good! I love, love, love Call, Aaron, and Tamara. They are such fun characters to learn about and watch grow.
Again, there were some Harry Potter similarities magical chess, talking creatures that only Call could understand b/c of his connection to Constantine, the girl being the smart one but they weren't as heavy-handed as the first book.
I would have liked to have seen more of the Magisterium in this book, as most of it takes place elsewhere but hopefully we'll get to see more of it in the next book.
My favorite little note I took from this book was about the Chaos magic how from what we've seen of it so far and from Alastair's memory of how Constantine received his Chaos power,
that it seems to come to people when they are in some sort of life or death situation. Like you can only get the power of Chaos if your life is in danger. It makes me wonder where the power comes from and why it chooses those people.
