Going Rogue by Robin Benway
3.0
There were several problems with this sequel, which is a shame since I enjoyed the first one:
-Stretching the story unnecessarily
-Overemphasis on "love" (aka puppy love/unrealistic infatuation-at-first-sight)
-Overused trope of something good suddenly seeming bad
-Stealing from others who stole something doesn't make you less of a thief
-Likewise, using stolen profits to "benefit the arts" or whatever doesn't make the action any more noble than the "corrupt" people
-Too much distinction between good and bad -- in real life, most people are a healthy medium
-PARIS, WHAT? That escalated quickly.
-Shallow character development (if there was any new development at all)
I was really disappointed.
