After reading the first book in this trilogy and absolutely loving it, I was SO disappointed by this sequel. I expected so much more from it and in so many situations it just fell flat. This book was just so predictable and I considered not even finishing it because it got so dull. If Sam and Ana are going to be some of the only characters that are actually focussed on, they need to be doing more as characters. Nothing in this book particularly stood out as original or unique in terms of plot or actions that characters took to overcome the challenges they were faced with and I have no desire to go and buy the third book. 
 (view spoiler)[ ALSO a few things: 
 1) If Ana or Sam said the word "inappropriate" one more time I was gonna start pulling hair out. The confusion and awkwardness in their relationship isn't even tension anymore it's just annoying. 
 2) OMG STEF HAS A CRUSH ON SAM OMG OMG LET ME TELL EVERYONE HOW MATURE I AM AND THEN ACT LIKE A SECOND GRADER. 
 3) If Ana actually gave inspirational speeches that didn't sound so cliche maybe more people would respect her but they all lack a sense of persuasiveness and relativity to everyone who is not Sam or like 4 other of her friends. 
 4) PLOTS WITH MEMORY LOSS REALLY ANNOY ME and this one is no different. 
 5) I hate the idea of religion where people blindly follow something and honestly the whole "Janan" plot twist and his eating New Souls and Ana taking it personally when its not; that idea has already been done, it was called THE HOST and even Stephanie Meyer thought of it. 
 6) WHY DID WE ONLY TALK ABOUT WHAT THE SYLPH WERE AT THE END. THAT IS THE ONLY ORIGINAL THING GOING FOR THIS BOOK AND IT WAS NOT TALKED ABOUT AT ALL. WTF.
