I’m going to say that even though I wasn’t a fan of this book, I am still going to reas the second one. I’m curious about what’s happening.
There are a lot of errors in the book, such as switching character names. There is a spot where Felicity is talking to Tress, and when it switched to narrate what Tress is doing, it has Felicity’s name.
The ended also just felt lazy. It didn’t seem like a cliff hanger. It was just the end is the book. It seemed like she was going to go somewhere, got bored or distracted, and then decided because it will have a sequel it was good enough.
Also the cat POVs take away from the story and don’t make any sense to me whatsoever.
