This felt a lot more disjointed than the first volume, which is probably why it took me a bit longer to get into. However, the story picked up super quickly, and all the unlikeable characters made it a solid 4 stars for me. There are a lot of fucked up things said all throughout the book, so this is your warning for sexism/misogyny, racism, slut-shaming, anti-Semitism, child abuse, and probably a couple more that I'm forgetting to mention. It's a wild ride, and I can't wait for volume 3!
