Not as strong as the first book but still solid. The writing is beautiful in my opinion but not action packed, even in intense moments. I reckon that works turn some people off but I enjoyed it. I'm anxious to read the conclusion to this series.

This book had way more political aspects than the previous one in the series and still not quite sure if I liked that or not. This book was also very very sad and depressing for a long time and that was a bit too much for me. It took 300 pages to finally get to see some light at the end of the tunnel. I did really like the themes of (found) family and unconditional love, friendship, sexism/feminism and lgbtqia+. This book was definitely an emotional rollercoaster.
