This was a great continuation of the first book. It felt like the Author was in her groove. The writing felt more polished. The pacing, I thought, was better. I felt better connected to the characters. I had all the feels.

I enjoyed the first book in the series but it left so many questions unanswered. I had to read the second book to get appease my curiosity.

The plot didn't grab my attention like the first book did. I had a hard time staying engaged in the story. And after I finished the book, there were more things still unresolved from the first book along with the second.

The author is obviously talented. I can tell while reading how thoughtful and purposeful the author penned the novel. The pages just didn't resonate with me as they did in the first book.

I admit, it could be me. I'm an emotional reader and I could have been too up in my feelings to make a connection.

However, this will not stop me from reading this author in the future.
