I enjoyed this book but found as the sequel it dragged on way too much at certain parts. It felt easy to put down and the ending felt quick and slightly unsatisfying. The pacing wasn’t steady which is probably why things dragged a bit. The writing was lyrically beautiful just like the first one and because of that, I loved listening to the audiobook version of it.

The characters were still loveable and enjoyable just like I thought they were.  But I definitely wanted more interactions with them. The romance in this one wasn’t the best. I could tell the author was trying to give us more of the romance, but it still felt like it wasn’t enough.

In the end, I enjoyed this series overall and I will definitely be reading more from this author.
