3.0
Zero character or relationship development.
Zero plot progression.
I still enjoyed the read, mostly thanks to the fondness that carried over from the first book. I like the characters (even if they mostly just annoyed me this time around). I’m invested.
I also appreciate how the book focused on Simon, Baz and Penny’s response to how their world fell apart.
I just expected them to start dealing with it.
At the end, they shouldn’t have ALL been where they’d started, or, as in Penny’s case, even worse off. Because then what’s the point?
