dark sad fast-paced

• Loveable characters? It's complicated

5.0

Okay, I checked this out from the library as soon as I finished the first one, and I will say this was a pretty great sequel. A lot of my questions from the first book were answered and had me going "wtf WTF" throughout. 
There were some gross/gruesome parts so check some content/trigger warnings. 
I overall liked the ending as well even though it made me a little sad. What I was hoping for didn't happen, but it's okay.

closure is better than nothing, but I would've liked to see tress and felicity rebuild their friendship knowing/understanding that what they both did was due to trauma. I'm glad Rue was able to be saved and go with Tress to build a new/different life as well

 I need to read more from this author!
