Overall, I like how this duology ended. There were quite a few things that I really enjoyed in this one, such as the character evolution of Sam! In the previous book, Sam was Lennon's biggest bully and Macon's girlfriend. So to see her being the terrible girl we first meet to being Lennon's only confidant was terrific. I love who she grew up to be despite her family. Then, on the other hand, we had freaking Claire. Honestly, she was never a good friend, and when things hit the fan in the previous book, we got to see just how truly terrible she was in this one stayed crappy, and I love that she didn't get a redemption arc. But there is about a 4-5 time jump between where the previous book ends and this one begins, and this one was just as tragic as the first book, just in a different way. But in the end, I wanted more for these two. Part of me feels like it could've been combined into one book. Still, on the other hand, we had so much come out that happened between Macon and Lennon and everything that happened with the family. It was crazy seeing Lennon return, and she's no longer the girl we first met at the beginning of the previous book.
