It is kinda hard to rate these, I wouldn’t say I love them I wouldn’t say I hate them. This second one is better than the first for sure, more plot and less drag. I enjoy reading their story and feel you will hate this if you’ve never been through trauma or a rougher upbringing. I do feel like it does still drag on slightly more than needed tho still but it was better than the first. This one did make me cry and bring out emotion so plus for that. It is a good one to talk about in book club setting and did enjoy and will continue reading the series but i wouldn’t give it a top read for me personally. I do enjoy the culture and learning of the time and country.
