2.0

As much as I didn’t like the first book, I liked this one a lot less. It reminded me of a video game or Dungeons & Dragons dungeon. The characters just wander around an abandoned castle for 300 pages. There’re small mysteries that are solved but they weren’t the ones that needed answering. Also, these are some of the most passive characters I’ve read about. Annabel needs to be told everything (and it could’ve been great character development for me but alas). 
This book carries little over from the previous book but the references were nice. Overall, this is a book where nothing happens until the third act and it’s not that exciting. It’s pretty much a book only to set up the next in the series.
