another winner!

This one might be my favorite? Maybe? They really do get better with every book. Though I’m starting to REALLY want some answers about Pa Salt!

Actual rating: 3.5 stars

I didn't dislike CeCe, even though I was kind of expecting to. Reading her story from her perspective helped, I suppose. There were, however, some things in this installment of the Seven Sisters series that bothered me. For example: the way Riley kept reminding us that CeCe is dyslectic (and even if reading is a challenge... how can you not know what 'genocide' means???). Plus, the lost love trope is getting a bit old, the stories (& all the pregnancies and babies) are a bit repetitive. I hope the next book breaks the cycle.

I did enjoy this book, though. It was a fun and pretty quick read. We'll see what the fifth sister will bring us.
