This book is very "middle book of a trilogy", in all the worst possible ways. The first book had a good premise, with some interesting mysteries and characters set up, and this book just... added nothing?
It was very drawn out with very little advancement of the plot, and very little character development. I think this book could have easily not existed at all, and the series could have been a duology with this book condensed into a few chapters at the end of the last book and the beginning of the next. If I hadn't been listening to the audiobook I probably would have DNFd this.
I will likely still read the final book, but only because I assume it will be available through borrow box like the last two. If I had paid for this book I would have been extremely disappointed.
