This book managed to somehow feel both incredibly drawn out and rather rushed at the same time.
It did not feel as thought through as her other books, and I was honestly really disappointed. The characters felt somewhat flat and their personalities seemed to differ from the other books.
The plot in this book was weird at best and nonexistent at worst, it felt like 400 pages of miscommunication and 300 pages of exaggerated fight scenes that seemed bland or boring.
I realize this all sounds incredibly negative, and of course there are good aspects and I definitely think it’s worth a read (if you set your expectations right beforehand).
