Our Violent Ends was challenging to get through. The plot of the first quarter of the book was just more of what happened in the first book, which made the ending of the first book feel a bit cheapened. Juliette continued to be too rash and bullheaded for me, like an entitled child who thought she was the smarter and stronger than everyone else. I thought she would develop a bit more in the end. Also, I found myself questioning why she was even fighting so hard for her gang in the first place? The only people she seemed to like were the Lang cousins, she didn’t even know the names of other members and treated them with contempt most of the time. The pacing was off for me, too. Some parts dragged on a bit too long, and then when something exciting happened it was quickly over and the story changed to another perspective. I know others really enjoyed this book more than the first, but it wasn’t for me.
