3.0

Sadly only three stars after the first one was an immediate 5 stars.
It was mostly boring but I fought through the pages because I knew it was all building up to an amazing, mindblowing plot twist
...only that the plot twist wasn't as amazing and mindblowing as it was
I will forever recommend the first book to anyone who asks but sadly not this one.
I already rold my friend while reading that if the first book was Barbie in the 12 dancing princesses in dark then this one would be Barbie as the island princess 
I guess it's my disappoint is my own fault because I really, really had high hopes for this one
ALSO if you read thsi review before reading the book and have hopes to meet Annaleigh and Cassius again, I'm sorry to destroy your hopes, I was sad, too. They were only mentioned once or twice
