The first book was definitely a stronger story. This got a little too into the idea of twists that weren’t very shocking, and the trusting nature of Inez borders on her being a complete idiot when it comes to people’s motives. It can get tiring to read from her perspective and I enjoyed Whit’s parts much more. But outside of telenovela levels of family drama, it was an enjoyable young adult novel, and it had an ending that was satisfying enough for the ship which is what most people probably care about.
