emotional
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot

3.0

It was an aggressively okay book that definitely read as a middle grade - it unfortunately wasn’t as fun, exciting, interesting as the first one.

Onyeka made sooo many mistakes that can be chalked up to her age but we’re also just dumb despite her age. A lot of the choices she made turned her into a very annoying character that made the story annoying. 

Overall, this book does serve as a bridge for book 3 but I’m very unsure if I’ll continue on with the series.
