Character development was questionable. Amari and Zelie were getting on my nerves. Inan was just, it was smh the whole way through... the plot was good though! I do want to see how it ends.

I loved the first installment in this series. I don't know if I just waited too long to read this one, or if it really wasn't as good, but I had no putting it down for a couple of days at a time. It didn't grab me. I was interested every time I picked it up, but I wasn't in a hurry to pick it up.

If a book can be said to jump the shark, this book jumped and added a high kick. The beginning was slow and convoluted. Just when I was (finally) connecting emotionally with the characters, the story completely went off the rails. I reread the section because it was so shockingly inconsistent I thought I'd misunderstood pages. I finished it but only because I was on audio and on a long walk, otherwise I'd have DNF'd at 70%ish when the abrupt change happened.

Not bad for a sequel. Honestly the main drawback of this book for me was the continuously shifting priorities of all the characters. They rarely seemed on the same page which added to the conflict, but sometimes it came off as needless/avoidable. I am intrigued enough that I will probably still read the next book.

i'm so torn on this one because, on one hand, what the hell was that. on the other hand, though, like, i get it? i definitely see why this is so divisive in the reviews, and all in all it certainly does not stand up to how good the first in the series was, but not all hope is lost for the conclusion to this trilogy to be an absolute banger

the book didn’t really make too much since. it was conflict for conflict’s sake. and the ending is messed up
