I loved this book, but not as much as the first one. I just didn’t like the way this book ended and would’ve liked an ending that gave me more closure. Other than that, it’s great.

Picks up where the previous book ends. It feels very jumbled and not just because the story is switching between time periods. The writing doesn't always flow together very well and you can get mixed up on who is talking and who's perspective it is at that point in time. I had higher hopes for it.

This book was all anxiety and no action!

A good portion of the beginning was just restating what had happened in the first book. Once we finally got past that, the critical plot points happened and the problems were never resolved. There were some side plot development too, and some of that was left open-ended. One side plot was resolved, but it didn’t feel very satisfying after an entire book of problems without solutions. A very frustrating read, and there were spelling mistakes too.
