While this second installment was enjoyable, it didn't grab me the way the first one did. I found the first to be emotional (at times heart-wrenching) and adventurous. This one didn't pull on the heart strings nearly as much. I also found the first one to be a bit grittier. It gave me Game of Thrones vibes, but this second installment didn't bring that same feeling.

I did enjoy the further development of each of the couple's relationships, and the addition of new characters. While there were times, I felt the dialogue was a bit cheesy, I think in the end, I prefer that over too much violence and realism. I get that enough from the real world.
