I decided to finish this duology by listening to this via the Libby app.
Naturally I prefer the couple of Lily and Atlas so this was a more enjoyable read than the first novel. 
I like the supporting characters and the dynamic they bring to the story. 

Really I just read it so I can tick it off my incomplete series list.

Unnecessary. Could have been an epilogue.

Very fast read.  Tremendously, blandly sentimental, but cohesive enough to make me cry a bit at the end.
