Hmmm... idk if it was the story or the time of the semester that i read it in, but it just felt dragged out; like I wasnt even a third of the way in and i was already kinda over the story.
It doesnt have the same feeling as the first one did, like the novelty or momentum of it was just gone.
I think it could've easily been a duology and still have the same storyline, but for some reason its a trilogy instead.
It just kinda wasn't it for me.
I still kind of enjoyed my time reading it, but i even found myself trying to remember who certain characters were so... yeah, thats not a very good sign. The way this series progressed made me thankful that i didnt buy a physical copy of the second one because maybe i'll end up selling the first one.
