An excellent sequel, God's grave absolutely did not disappoint! The hardest thing about writing a sequel with such a known character is how to keep the character's development and growth believable, consistent, and still flow with the guidance of the story. 

With that, I am delighted to already have the final book beside me so I can read this story just as it feels it was written-back to back.

i want to give this five stars because the writing is incredible, but i can't because of the sexualization of minors. these kids are sixteen and seventeen and are being written about in a very sexualized manner that is uncomfortable. there are sex scenes between minors and this book was definitely intended to be consumed by the older end of the young adult group.
