3.5. I like a lot about this series so far - such an interesting world, diverse representation, compelling characters. I also feel like there might be a few too many interesting things going on - time jumps, POV jumps, and aspects to the plot that really complicate the POVs for reasons I won't spoil here... it's a lot.
I think I would've liked this novel a lot better had it included a brief "here's what happened in book 1" or even a list of characters, OR if I had read The Dawnhounds again before starting; reading the two 20-ish months apart definitely impacted my reading experience. This said, I also noted in my review of book 1 that the pacing made me feel like I missed something. There is also way too much I like about this series not to continue, so I'll look forward to book 3 and be sure to come back and read detailed synopses of the first two books before proceeding.
Content warnings: death, war, violence, gun violence, homophobia, medical content, some body horror
