Enjoyed while reading, but afterwards the issues stuck with me. The plot is trying to do too many things at once and feels convoluted. A large theme has to do with mesmer and torture, gaslighting, and Bree not being able to trust herself. This was difficult for me to read. Many areas had Bree making choices that made no sense, and while the characters are lovable, they can also be insufferable and wind up in entirely avoidable situations. That said, it was still a fun read that I flew through and I'm hoping all the loose ends get tied together in the 3rd installment.
