This is a fun edition to the series. I liked the beginning. The middle felt choppy and a bit disconnected. Because of the tropes used, which are some of my favorite (in keeping this spoiler free I will not mention said tropes in this review) it felt like we were missing a lot. So much was happening off page and it didn't feel smooth and pulled me out of the story unlike book one. However by 75% I was back in the flow and really enjoyed it. The new characters were fun, and creative. I LOVED the ending. The character arcs are super interesting right now. This series is unique, and incredibly well thought out. Very good overall. Very excited for book three 🙌🏼
