I totally did not expect to like this sequel, but damn I did! I really need book 3.
My heart is not okay after all of this.

This book really suffered from middle book syndrome. I'm not sure I care enough to want to read the last book in this series; characters seem to have regressed in their development, and nothing of significance happened during the plot. In fact, I'm certain that if you read the first book, skipped this one and went straight to the third, you wouldn't be missing anything.

Usually second books in series aren't as good as the first--Girls of Storm and Shadow is rare that I found it more enjoyable than the first! I connected with the characters more and enjoyed the plot.

I didn’t like the action in this book nearly as much as the first one, and a lot of the dialogue felt very corny. However, Wren and Lei’s relationship is a huge highlight in this book and it was very well written. I’m now done rereading the books I’ve read already and am excited to read the third, which I have not read. This suffers slightly from “second book filler” and felt like a lot of nothing action, as opposed to the first book which felt like it was paced better. But I have to stress how much I love Wren and Lei’s relationship despite these issues. They’re very well written. I didn’t care much for the other side characters introduced in this book.

I hated how much this book sucked. I wanted it to be so much better.

Hoy vengo con la reseña de la segunda parte de la trilogía de Chicas de papel y de fuego de @girlinthelens publicada por @puck.ed
Está segunda parte no me ha gustando tanto como la primera, al principio me costó un poco engancharme pero llegado a cierto punto no pude parar de leer.
Lo que si me ha gustado es que siga teniendo ese tinte feminista y de denuncia contra el abuso sexual.
Otra cosa que también vemos en esta parte es la superación (o no) de los traumas vividos por esos abusos y la forma en que va intentando conseguirlo.
El final me ha dejado con muchas ganas de saber qué pasará, yo creo que el tercer libro nos deparará muchas sorpresas .
