They don’t spend as much time at school anymore, as they did in the first book. In "Envy", we were in the locker room a good part in the book and in Beth’s house while Beth and Kane study for the Act.
The author’s main purpose for writing this book was to entertain her audience. I think she achieved that goal and more. Everyone I have talked to that has read her series the Seven Deadly Sins has only had good things to say about it nice.
