I really enjoyed this second installment. The relationships are coming together finally and we are seeing softer sides of the male characters, especially saint. As for the teacher he’s fine, but I don’t really care for him, he’s my least favorite. Learning about the unspeakables was really a turning point as well. The ending of this is actually crazy, but it was really I don’t think heartwarming is the right word, but just how much they fought to save her. This ends on a cliffhanger, so I’m excited to see where this goes.
