I’m still absolutely loving the characters and world building! It absolutely has me in its grips when it comes to that, though I feel like this book wasn’t quite as good as the first. Only slightly, though. I think this one just takes a while to really get going and we spend half this book just waiting. 

I also really wish we had more main female characters? Ones that don’t get murdered? I guess we’ll see if that happens. This is the only real criticism I have for the series so far.
