Found the first 1/3 trying and excessively existential, but invested enough in the characters by this point to stay committed. Enjoyed the last 1/3.

This is a middle book for sure. A lot of slow points & a few moments where I thought things were finally picking up...just to have them slow down again. But the ending was good & made me want to read the next book so it still counts as a win!!
Wow, what a disappointment. I really enjoyed the first book. It was very character driven and while the plot wasn't mind blowing-ly awesome, I really enjoyed the characters and how individual they were and how their interactions with each other created intrigue.
This book, unfortunately didn't focus on the characters and more on plot and in my opinion it suffered from it. I think the plot would have been completely acceptable, but the fact that the characters lost all the things that made them interesting in the first book made this not nearly as fun to read.
To say something positive, I still really enjoy Olivie Blake's prose. Lots of parentheses to insert humor or thoughts and some unique ways of storytelling that works really well for me. It will turn others off, but I happen to enjoy it quite a bit. Other than that I really struggled with this one.
I almost DNF'd this book multiple times, but stuck through to the end. I'm glad I did, because it looks like there is going to be a third book. And now I can decide on whether or not to read it when it comes out to give Blake another shot in this world. But sadly this book just fell flat for me.
