This book was solid. Not bad but not extraordinary either. It was a bit better than the first, because a bit more happened in this book. I still feel like it had no real storyline and it always just revolved around fighting humans and monsters. I liked the characters but I didn't really care about them. The last part was very dark and had no happy end, which made this book way better than without it, but I wasn't sad or shocked. 
I liked that this book was so dark and kind of brutal, but I'm still pretty indifferent about it. 
The thing that it was never really explained or discussed how Ilsa reaped souls after losing her voice, really bothered me. I mean there could have been explanations, but no one ever talked about this issue??

I do recommend reading it though, if you've already read the first one.
