Listen the plot was good, great even but it put me in a 20 day reading slump simply because of how slow everything was. And once you read the main plot point 👀😭… all the timeline does is jump tremendously. Also it was just confusing to keep up with everything and who everyone was. Tobias really just crawled all over my nerves 🙄 like give me a break. I just wasn’t really entertained I guess. I much preferred the first book despite all the lingering secrets.

Heart-breaking. I started this novel hating the protagonist but through the twist and turns of the story truly felt my love for her blossom. She grows up, so much, over the course of the book and that growth is realistic not contrived. The line that everyone on TikTok is devastated over doesn’t disappoint. This book was devastating on several levels but ended on a happy note. Excited to finish the series & get some closure for all the characters’ storylines. The one downside I noticed was some glaringly obvious misspellings that the editor missed but otherwise this book was so enjoyable to read.

This book is about 30 pages of answers and 400 pages of crap. I don’t know how this gets as many 4 and 5 star ratings as it does!?!?!?!? The number of times I wanted to DNF this book… absolute waste of my time.
I can’t understand how an author can write so many words and yet tell the reader nothing? This book is chaotic, repetitive, overly dramatic and all the characters are so angry and hostile all the time. It’s so poorly written that half the time I’ve not got a clue WHY they’re so angry because the whole thing is so evasive and their extreme emotions are rarely explained. The first 70% of this book is 100% a 1 star, it’s boring and the one bit of action which passes for interesting again doesn’t make sense at the time and what follows is more evasiveness, gahhhhh. All the relationships explored in this book are so toxic and the FMC is so pathetic, whiny and dislikable. It gains a 0.5 because at least I got given some answers at the end of this book to help explain what the hell has been going on. It has left me feeling as though the entirety of book one was redundant though and I’m not left satisfied with how it ends but I shall not be reading book three.
Satisfactory ending? Nope.

I was unprepared for how this book was going to impact me. I went into the series blind. And as much as this one broke my heart it also restored it.
