I was excited at first to read this book because of my love for the first one. But very quickly that excitement turned to boredom. I found the plot was dragging and I had to drag myself to the finish line.

I did not think it could get any crazier than what we got in book 1, but clearly I was wrong. This book is absolutely wild, I was constantly left with my jaw dropped in surprise.
The plot was well-paced for the most part. A lot happens pretty quickly, so it's more on the fast-paced side but it works. Character-wise, I'd say Iris, Rin, even Adam, probably had the most development. In comparison, Jinn ended up feeling underdeveloped -- I just expected more from him. Although that ending definitely hints at more to come from him in book 3. Also, Max's whole thing?? He has a pretty drastic personality shift which was a little jarring. If Raughley plays it well in book 3 though and makes it make sense, then I'll probably let it slide.
I'm most invested in what's going on with Iris. It really feels like Raughley is trying to push her to the limits and bring up that question of what happens once everyone has turned on you? So fascinating, I can't wait for book 3.
