I'm a surprised but not in the good way ... this book was not what I expected. I loved the first one so much so my expectations were high but this one feels more like a debut comparing to her actual debut novel.
The world building was minimal, the characters development was lacking I feel like I didn't know them at all which made me not care about the story. Also the plot was predictable and felt lacking in purpose. I think the idea had potential but the execution was poorly done in my opinion. Unfortunately this one just fell flat for me. It was a meh read.
