Wow, what a sequel to follow up on!

I don't have too many thoughts - I feel as if the world building may be more enjoyable to some, I find it ok but maybe not my favorite part. The characters (especially the mains) and their actions are what keep me reading.

I am a little disappointed in how Jessamine's story was in this book. I found it a little unbelievable that she would turn so quickly on her group, even if she wasn't completely happy there. However, I really liked the development of Tessa, Will, and Jem's relationship. People had told me before that this is one of the best handled love triangles out there and they weren't wrong! I was definitely moved at Will and Tessa's big scene in this book. I will say the other characters are very hit and miss with development.

The cliffhanger also had me intrigued!

I am curious to read the final book and see how the story ends.
