One of the very few times in my long reading career that I enjoyed book two far more than book one.

A solid attempt but missed the mark in so many ways.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 11%.
Not for me, I fear. Wake me up when something happens.

For a book with high stakes on paper, I never actually felt like there were stakes here. The literal war felt like a second thought compared to the drawn out romantic conflict with an obvious conclusion.

Eh. This is fine, but only if you fully suspend your disbelief and just let yourself get taken for the ride. Mr. Smith could never have the kind of reach he has and our FMC just always has the right skills for every situation she finds herself in.

Good luck on your future together where no one respects boundaries and yet you claim to be so well adjusted!! This felt like wish fulfillment for those of us who want our quirkiness to make us desirable rather than weird and think that every man who meets us must want to fall in love with us. You took the best part of the soulmate equation and let her fall flat.

This wasn’t terrible until those last ten pages. The author really took three cheap shots for the “wow” factor. I can absolutely see why the booktok girlies ate this up but it is just so contrived, in my opinion.

Takes a minute, especially compared to book one, but these nerds are just as fun and lovable the second time around.

This one just isn’t for me, I fear.
