The first one, whilst lacking in world-building, had strong and likeable characters I could get behind. I'm giving this one a generous two stars for the plot, which again, was pretty fun and complex. It started off great with the reunion of certain characters mentioned in the first book, but then went in a totally different direction and we never heard from them again -- such wasted potential! The FMC was put in more and more ridiculous misogynistic situations to humiliate her without it adding anything to the narrative -- all whilst the love interest stood by and watched. I couldn't get behind their relationship anymore and the dialogue/chemistry between them was pretty bad which was such a shame.
