3.0

 “I am priestess of a sandcastle in a land of dust and starlight” 

A bit longer than necessary for a sequel, in my opinion. And it contains a disturbing scene that I was not ready to read about in a book like this. But overall it is a great way to continue the series; it went in a way different direction than I thought it would.
Can’t wait to see where Taylor will take us in the finale!

The book started and ended well, but I was unmotivated to keep reading it in the middle, tbh. Adore the characters and despise some of them too. There’s one really traumatizing chapter, so be careful and check tws. As the neighborhood sang: “But when you told me the whole story I felt like throwing up.” (Not really a spoiler: she did throw up).
