This was a really disappointing follow up. Instead of tying up loose ends & expounding on what happened in book 1, whole new plot points were introduced & it was a convoluted mess in my opinion.
That on its own would have been fine & i’d have dealt with it, but the characters in this one regressed! They mostly annoyed me & all the character work I enjoyed in book 1 was diminished. The love interest.. not sure i’ll ever look at him the same after this one.
Then the ending was way too fast and conveniently wrapped up.
So yeah. That was a bummer.
