okay, i somewhat struggled and somewhat enjoyed it so much? i love the dark topics addressed and that it is pretty unique for a ya of its time. i enjoy all the psychological talk and aspects nad how mara develops and how noah supports her. some of it was a little cliché but honestly, i did not see much of the twists come myself? maybe because i couldn't invest a large chunk of time at once to reading it. overall, i did enjoy this but i didn't think it was as good as the first book for me. i'm a little nervous to go into the finale, though.
