The plot thickens, there’s are so many questions and some get answered but it’s still very mysterious. I am invested in the characters now and I really hope

Thomas and Teresa sort stuff out

It's a fine read - not the best thing I've ever read but I am interested in where the story goes after this point. The last book will really determine whether I like the series or not because the Trials have been quite convoluted for the characters so far and if there's a stupid reason behind why I'm going to be disappointed.

I don’t know how I finished this book. I rolled my eyes way too often and I wanted to throw this book into a wall many times. I absolutely hate Thomas. Very few of the other characters have a real personality and it just made me not care when something happened to them. The writing is just as bad as in the first book. I hate that we don’t get any real valuable information about the world. It’s all just surface level stuff.
