After the first book, I was really excited for this -- but it didn't hit me in quite the same way. The depression and hatred of several characters felt sort of gratuitous for me, and I started to skip over some of that POV. Many of the relationships almost hurt me to read. I just generally prefer lighter fare, I think. Great end plot though.
Alternated reading with audiobook narration (depending on library access lol, i think that also lowered my enjoyement). The narrator is quite good.
