This was a fun series honestly. It reminded me of how fun Rutkoski's writing can be.

Compared to the first book, the pacing felt inconsistent and the characters were also inconsistent.

Rounding up to 3 stars since I read it in one sitting, but that might change.

Edit: in reviewing this book to a friend I already lowered my star rating, oops

this will make no sense unless you read this book but it made me immediately want to go home and see my family. beautifully heart felt, well written, and an amazing love story of all kinds.
