3.25⭐️: Nothing too special. I would recommend it depending on the mood.
After reading the first book of the series I wasn't exactly hopeful for the second one, but I actually enjoyed this book more.
Starting off with the FMC: Valentina is actually an adult (23 years old) and has a better understanding of the world, herself, and what she wants. We are actually able to see her strong and genuine friendship with Bibiana and Valentina actually chooses to practically help her improve her life when she has the chance. In contrast to Aria, Valentina isn't just scared of this world and she actively tries to make change here and there, in accordance to what is within her power instead of nagging.
As for Dante, I didn't really get to know him, so I don't have any strong opinions about him. He was cold and distant and without his POV I couldn't attribute him any characteristic other than grieving his wife and having a pocker face.
