I appreciate the way this book really brings the mystery into the story. Some of it was predictable but some of it, I really was not expecting.

I liked it less than the first book. There was so much going on so rapidly, it felt kind of clunky in its delivery. There were multiple parts where I had to go back and reread because I was confused on where the characters were or how much time had passed and I kept feeling like I was missing over skipping pieces that would keep the story more linear. By about 60% of the way through the book, I had just fully accepted that it felt a bit disjointed and kept moving.

Regardless, I do really like this story and I will absolutely be finishing the series.
