What I Didn’t Like:
- The two POVs are a bit too similar. They’re hard to tell apart because of this. I would’ve preferred them being more drastically different in language choice or tone.
- Slower than expected after book 1. There’s a lot of down time between major plot points and it moves slowly.
- The characters don’t feel as strong this time. The character development from book 1 carries them but we don’t learn more about them in this one. Everyone feels static.
What I Did Like:
- The book opens with a bit of a summary from the previous book, perfect if you’re not reading them back-to-back. However, it’s not so much that if you are you’d be annoyed! It’s just a quick reminder.
- The end of the book is interesting. Really, it almost feels like it was leading to a Book 3 and leaving things unresolved. Is there a book 3?
- The characters you liked in Book 1 are all back! If you read the original, fell in love with the characters, and want more you’ll be pleased.
Who Should Read This One:
- Fans of the first one who wanted more will love that your favorites make a comeback for this one.
