1.0

An unfortunately long and laborious read. I expected so much more since I loved the first book, but this was just disappointing. The characters became caricatures of themselves, making ill-timed and unwarranted declarations. The love triangle was almost childlike. And I’m pretty sure I read the word “squelch” at least ten times. The violence was all the same, with all the same descriptions. It was boring and not at all anything like that which I loved in the first book. The characters were so two-dimensional and none of them grew. I finished it out of my own weird sense of loyalty having loved the first book, but I couldn’t wait for this book to be over.
