4.5
So for the majority of the book, this was a a solid 4-star read for me. The plot and the pacing was not as engaging as the previous book but the characters were just as lovable and I ate up their backstories like I was starved. Then, THE ENDING HAPPENED. and it was so impeccably done and it ended the duology in such a satisfying -though not perfectly happy way - and it earned back half of star for how incredible the ending was. Overall, I liked the first book more but I think this book still rocks, making this a great duology.
