2.5

The writing was choppy with incomplete sentences to the point of being distracting. I think I can see how in certain points it would add to the creepiness of the story or help the reader see the state of mind of some of the characters, but doing it through the whole book was just annoying.
This book also resolved nothing. The mysteries set up in the first book were interesting, but to get absolutely no resolution on any topic and to just get more confused as I went on made this a chore to read. I really think the concepts and setting were super interesting but I don’t think it was executed well.
