It'd been quite a few years since I read the first book in this series. To it's credit, I had no problem remembering the entire thing as I went through this one. It didn't waste any time on rehashing the story, catching you back up. It just drops you in, which I definitely prefer and appreciate.
However this story itself was very repetitive. They run, someone gets sick, they end up somewhere bad. They run, someone gets sick, they end up somewhere bad. The formula repeats itself over and over until the last few chapters which is when the story actually gets interesting.
I'm very curious to see how this trilogy ties up. I think this one was mostly filler? It feels like the author had a really solid beginning planned and also knew where she wanted it to end, but she was forced to fill in book #2 to make those things happen. So even though this was just okay, I do have high hopes for the finale.
