Okay this book was really hyped up and the hype lasted all of Book I and really tampered off in Book II. I was really excited for a big reveal of Henry framing Richard, BUT THAT NEVER HAPPENED. It felt like the book hit this peak of wildness and couldn’t top itself in the second half. STILL LOVED PART 1, just cannot day the same about part 2.
