alright i didn’t know this was a sequel 😰 but i had so much fun reading this!! it was a ride the whole way through. the first like 70% had so many little reveals and twists that i couldn’t stop reading this. (and so i finished it at 2:30 am) i didn’t feel lost or like i was missing puzzle pieces bc i didn’t read the first book even though all the characters were apparently in the first one. i felt like the last twenty percent dragged on and it was broken down in the different povs in a way that felt like i was reading through molasses.
