After loving the first book of this series I am really let down with this one. I can see where the story is going, but wow does it feel like it’s taking forever to get there. I had guessed at most of the plot points so the last part of the book didn’t feel like much of a surprise.

While I liked the Danika storyline of the first book I got very annoyed that all things led back to Danika throughout this book. Why make her such an important character when she was killed off less than 100 pages in to the first book? It made me angry and felt very lazy for the plot to continually be “oh it all hinges upon a dead character we can’t talk to.” That really took me out of it at every reveal that lead back to Danika, of which there were MANY.
I also didn’t love the crossover at the end. I don’t know why, it just rubbed me the wrong way even if I saw it coming.

Is it possible to love 30% of a book so much it’s a 4 star even though I skimmed the other 70%?
I got Holmes vibes from Bryce always playing detective, not sure if I love it or hate it.

Whatever I was expecting from this book...it was not THAT. The worldbuilding of this series is so far beyond anything else I ever read, even compared to other SJM books. I can't keep up with it, and just when I have it figured out, there's another layer to it that's peeled back and dives even deeper. I thoroughly enjoyed this and I cannot wait to read the next in the series!
