I left a longer review on part 3, but in general: story was good, but the representation of women and queer folks hurt my soul. I think this was the best of the three books though.
An improvement on the 1st installment.. maybe 2.5 stars? I do not like this writing style, read this because I had the book on kindle.. stayed for the plot, and I did want to read the books before watching the show. I don't know. Feels predictable and the characters are just not well rounded. Will I read the 3rd book now that I am 2 for 3.. probably. Would I recommend, perhaps not. Seems like PWB and company turned a mediocre book series into a brilliant show.

I have very mixed feelings about this one: we get to know more about the twelve which is a nice add on to the show, but only get three kills… (I thought they were the most interesting part of the first book.) and the third one was just so slow burn and it actually bored me for about a hundred pages in the middle of the book.
there were quite a lot of questionable and straight up wtf moments (seven to be exact) where I really had to put the book down and take a minute questioning what the author was thinking. Not to mention the continuing “man writing queer women” that already made me feel uneasy in the first one so I won’t elaborate on some of the over-sexualization and completely out of line jokes.
(If other parts hadn't balanced that out it would’ve definitely gotten a worse rating from me)
Overall you could tell it was written by a journalist and I really didn't care for the parts where it seemed like the author was just trying to show off his knowledge of certain things without really adding to the story. (At least he didn't mention a dozen different guns that I know nothing about in this one.)
In the end I did enjoy the last chapter. A lot of things came together and it made me want to pick up the third part of the trilogy, compared to the end of the first book that did not do that at all.
It gets a 0.25 higher rating than part 1 simply because it ended on a better note for me in comparison

dit boek is zoveel beter dan de eerste, ik ga gelijk de derde lezen.
“You said there were two reasons you haven’t killed me. What’s the second?”
Villanelle looks at her. “Really? You haven’t worked that out yet?”
Eve shakes her head.
“Because it’s you, Eve”
