A good second book, and a lot of the same as from the first. Plot moved along well, honestly better/more interesting than I was expecting. Romance got a bit old, with it sort of feeling like the same problem was just getting rehashed over and over (which is maybe realistic tbh, but does it get a little frustrating). I do think the twist at the end will probably make things a little more interesting and maybe spice things up a bit, but will have to see how that plays out in book 3.
