Overall, a strong conclusion to the narrative. I prefer the first book but I wasn’t disappointed.

Read if you…
  • Read the first book and liked it 
  • Are looking for some answers 

Skip if you… 
  • Really struggled with the writing style or pacing in the first book (it’s pretty similar here) 

You should probably read it. You’re already invested, right? 😉


How I remember it…
I
found a lot of this book very enjoyable to read. The pacing and writing style felt similar to the first book. However, this book maintains a more consistent plot-driven narrative than the first. I liked the humanizing character development and relationships. I missed the twisted dark academia feeling from book 1 in the series. Overall a satisfying ending to this arch. 

If I leant a friend this book…
I’d probably tell them that I didn’t enjoy this as much as the first book but that I thought it was worth the read and that the conclusion was satisfying.
