Okay, I checked this out from the library as soon as I finished the first one, and I will say this was a pretty great sequel. A lot of my questions from the first book were answered and had me going "wtf WTF" throughout.
There were some gross/gruesome parts so check some content/trigger warnings.
I overall liked the ending as well even though it made me a little sad. What I was hoping for didn't happen, but it's okay.

closure is better than nothing, but I would've liked to see tress and felicity rebuild their friendship knowing/understanding that what they both did was due to trauma. I'm glad Rue was able to be saved and go with Tress to build a new/different life as well

I need to read more from this author!

This was intense! Not only was the plot even crazier as a continuation of The Initial Insult but it delivered on many fronts. It's also pretttttyyy gory and gross. I have a decently strong stomach but some descriptions were A LOT to listen to/read. I didn't have strong feelings about Ribbit in TII but man he pissed me off in this one. He always seemed weak and passive but he flipped that and became kind of evil. To be fair, he was bullied pretty badly for a while and he wants revenge on the popular kids. But the manner of his revenge was harsh. Tress, bless her, she tried so hard in this book. And yes, she made up for a lot. She's a very interesting character to read from and follow and I'm really glad I finished this duology.
