Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail by Ashley Herring Blake

3.0

Maybe it was because I read this on the heels of a literary science fiction trilogy, but I found this book just okay. The characters were familiar, but the references to the first book boarded on over-explanation.
Also, no spice until 2/3rds of the way through was disappointing. There wasn’t enough build-up to make it a slow burn.
Overall, I liked the first book better.
