Re-reading to annotate my physical copy.  This book has such a different tone than book one. A lot more character development. Both Raahosh and Liz have some big character flaws or trauma they’re working through, which makes their connection a lot more deep. I remember Liz’s personality and wit being a bit distracting, but for some reason on this re-read, while I found her funny, I also saw the vulnerability through her humor.

I really liked the first but I enjoyed this one a lot more. Quality humour and funny one liners with a light hearted, shockingly interesting plot - great read
