So... This book should have been put through at least one more round of edits. It definitely could have been cut down by 100+ pages. It's really sad because I was so excited to read this sequel, but it dragged so much in the middle. I would have rather waited for a much better version of this book to be published, than what we got. I hope that Rebeca Yarros and her publishers get back on track for book 3.
That said, it definitely picked up A LOT over the last 150 pages and the story really progressed a lot towards the end. If you're struggling with the middle, keep going. It is, at the very least, worth finishing.
