Not sure whether to give it 4.5 stars or 5 stars because oh my goodness, WHAT JUST HAPPENED? WHAT IN THE ACTUAL HECK JUST HAPPENED? ARE YOU ALL SCREWING WITH ME? IS THIS REALLY WHAT IT COMES TO? DEER GOD, I NEED A BREATHER. 
 This story definitely kept me on my toes. It was engaging. It was never boring. It always keeps you drowning in information and adventure. It's absolutely exhilarating. There's always the thrill, also, adding spice to the story. Bottom line, this was a good sequel. But the ending, though. The ending... It makes me want to weep. I mean, what. WHAT. WHY? AFTER ALL THAT? YOU JUST----UGH, I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE. 
 Well, at least there was closure. If that counts.
