Oh, MAN, this book. I loved the first one and I enjoyed this one too although not as much but it was as much of a tense ride as the first one. Ciara was not as beloved as a character for myself as I thought she would be. I just wasn't into her point of view as much as I was. I absolutely loved having more of Theo's perspective though I wanted more... the plot twists were plot-twisting and that cliffhanger ending has me desperate for the last book.

It didn't feel like second-book syndrome as I read this but that might change when I get to the last book (I can never tell until I read the full trilogy). 

Also, I fully endorse listening to the audiobook since it is narrated by the lovely pro-Palestine activist and actress, Nicola Coughlan.
