Overall Thoughts:
⁕ The characters' jumps in logic when solving the main mystery of the book were WILDLY far-fetched when compared to The Inheritance Games. I get that the plot must move onward, but the randomness of the clues and their meanings made it hard to participate as the reader.

⁕ The second half of the book redeemed itself through its poignant examination of love and relationships. It gave me all the feels, truly!!

⁕ I love that Barnes gave secondary characters (Rebecca and Max especially) an inch more of the spotlight. More! I want more!

Not as good as the First

I think since the first book was SO good, I had very high expectations for this one, the plot felt overdone and it made me confused when

the whole first book turned out it didn't matter and the ending felt very all over the place. Like first Avery gets blown up then kidnapped with little in between?

I would say that if you liked the first book still read this one but don't set your expectations too high.

The wrong brother was chosen. I enjoyed the first book so much I gave it five stars. Then I waited nine months for this one and was rather disappointed.
