I enjoyed this one a lot more than the first book, not only was it a great mystery but a great story. I was able to partly guess the ending but not the whole twist, and what a twist. The whole time it barely felt like there was a mystery, that’s how good the writing and story was but when the mystery loomed, it was very present. The ending, the twist of it but also just the ending itself, was fantastic and I while I feel like there could’ve been a little more time with some of the characters and forming attachments with them, it was still a really great book overall.
