4.0

New mysteries, higher and more dangerous stakes, more players, many who are objecting to the game, and more shitty money-seekers in the woodwork. And more secrets, of course. 

Honestly, more like the stakes and tensions I expected of book 1 from the blurb. 

Bots are still pretty 1D and interchangeable, but whatever.

It's definitely more active than the first book, the connections between the characters is explored a lot more and I absolutely love that! My favorite part is "I'm not a bad man" after what he did and planned to do LMFAO it was so funny

 “The trick to being abandoned was to never let yourself long for anyone who left.”

Oh my gosh, this was so good! The twists and turns this book had left me GAGGED.

Also, I listened to the audiobook for this one, and it was really funny to hear the Hawthorne's accents. The whole Tobey II is Harry thing was WILD and I was here for it! And Sheffield... bro. That's all I'm gonna say.

This book was better than the first one, because more things were getting answered here, and the mystery kept getting deeper. I'm excited to see how this all ends!

mysterious fast-paced

3.5

This series is a great one to just escape the real world for a bit. Love the clever mysteries and reveals, though this second instalment was actually a bit too fast paced for me and I would've loved some time to sit with some of those revelations. The romance also isn't particularly noteworthy in my personal opinion.
