Overall alright read, not as good as the first one. Was quite long winded and seemed at a loss for storyline at times it seemed like they were just tryna keep the book going when it didn’t need to.

Honestly, this book felt rushed and poorly written. The changing POVs felt exactly the same, with little to show for the character who was speaking. The ‘revelations’ felt fake and scripted. Finished it purely to tie up the series.
