I loved This Poison Heart and I was so excited for the sequel but it sadly fell really flat for me.
I loved the many Greek mythology references and the diverse characters but that is probably all. The pacing was completely off. The characters were supposed to be acting fast but instead they went shopping and taking a long nap. The first half just dragged on and it made me skim the rest of the book (and this is something I usually never do!). I think I would have enjoyed it more as a novella. When the characters moved to the important places I was already not invested enough anymore. Or just add a few more chapters to book one!
