Easily the best book in the series and a big step up from the first book. The world grows much bigger and the mystery of why the world is the way it is makes for an intriguing and tense story. The big twist at the end was weird and still is weird to me to this day but I would not say it was bad.

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

Interesting, but didn't hold my attention like the first. In many places the writing could be enhanced by some fresh adjectives and verbs

I really enjoyed reading this book, I actually preferred it to the first book in the series. The plot was super interesting and unpredictable, so I got invested easily.

Emotional rollercoaster, tense, manipulative qualities in characters and the book itself, makes you rethink everything you once knew about the first book, gives major trust issues, ending of the book is hard to read
