Let me start by saying , I was a little concerned on where this book was going to go. At the end of book one, two of the main characters were killed.
However, I think the second book was even better than the first. The characters are much more morally gray, as opposed to black and white.
There were also quite a few plot twists I didn’t see coming. There were a few predictable storylines, but the end gave me whiplash.
All in all, I’m looking forward to the third and final book. I feel like these books appeal to individuals who don’t necessarily need perfect writing or absolute seriousness. There are quite a few pop culture references and some of the dialogue is cheesy. However, I think they cover great topics and bring enjoyment.
