I figured out why it was so hard to describe this series. This is a character focused book but the events of the story are both character and plot driven. This combination makes for an interesting read, and leaves you thinking about the book once it is over.

Unlike the previous book this had multiple POVs that we see the events of the story unfold through. Some are familiar characters we have seen or heard about from the previous book, and some are completely brand new. I loved following all the different perspectives as everyone has to adjust to their new lives and way of living that they have been thrusted into.
