This is personally, my least favorite out of the main series, but definitely worth while. I heard if you watch the movies before you read the books it’s more challenging to get through. I didn’t watch the movies before the books, and I absolutely loved it! Would recommend.

There is gore. If you don’t like to read those kind of topics I’d not recommend.

Interesting, but didn't hold my attention like the first. In many places the writing could be enhanced by some fresh adjectives and verbs

Emotional rollercoaster, tense, manipulative qualities in characters and the book itself, makes you rethink everything you once knew about the first book, gives major trust issues, ending of the book is hard to read
