4.0
emotional hopeful inspiring sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I liked but didn’t love this one. It seemed a bit rudderless at times with too many problems. The ending was very satisfying, however.

Upon rereading, would amend to 4 stars.  While the story isn’t as cohesive as the first, watching Ada’s character development was very enjoyable.
