I understand completely why this book seems to be so controversial in its reviews. It's only apparent function is to set the scene for the third one, and it's mostly centered around the Essen Tasch, which has nothing to do with the big bad, BUT, I fucking loved it. It scratches that itch I always have of wanting more of the characters in more mundane settings (which is why I always run to ao3 after I finish something I really like) and I. ATE. IT. UP. I don't remember why the fuck I had given it 4 stars, for me it deserves the 5 stars, it was fun, kept me hooked, gave me lot of kelila moments that had me giggling and kicking my feet, gave me character exploration and, why not, character development too. It's definitely not for everyone, but for me it was perfect (the only thing I didnt enjoy that much was beginning at a certain point and then going "4 months ago" but I'll ignore it)
