3.5

I really really wanted to love this but the repetitiveness of it got to me. It could have been shorter if removing the fluff to make it longer. Also, the writing is horrible. 
Otherwise, the story was good. 
Huge cliffhanger. The third book isn't even written yet.

It seems likely that the editor made Yarros change the structure of this book, because otherwise it makes no sense. Great descriptions, good spicy scenes, but the pacing was awful and the inner monologue was repetitive. I'd bet good money that the ending was meant to be the midpoint. I want to rate it higher for RY's sake but I'm not sure that's fair.
