4.0

A well-paced and engaging read! These guys don’t have a clue how to write women but this is easy to just laugh at and ignore because the story is so interesting (and kudos to them for including so many women at all and for giving them meaningful roles in the story!)

I liked the first book better by a small margin, but man, the ending to this one was a mindf*ck. Very excited for book 3!
