The second entry in the series worked a bit better for me. I’d say the second half was more engaging than the first. I definitely found myself more intrigued by the book given that there is more of a plot and now that I know the characters a bit seeing them progress was nice as well. I still think I need a bit more to keep me engaged with the story but overall an enjoyable story.
