4.5
It starts off at a medium pace, and then the final act picks up to a fast, bitter cliff hanger for the final book in the trilogy.
I really enjoyed Lei's arc, and how she sees more than the others, maintains her heart of gold despite her own personal battles and the effects of war around her.
Second time reading Girls 2, and still the revelations of how far some characters go to defeat the evil King chills me.
Also liked the new perspectives of characters, because it broadens the scope of an all-out war, seeing it from the points of view from people all over the country of Ikhara.
Excited for Girls 3!
