UGH. 
 Nope. Nope nope nope. 
 This series just got so exhausting. Yancey tried way too hard to be deep and profound and meaningful. And it continued to come off as pretentious and deliberately obtuse. Enough tortured metaphors, enough purple prose, just SAY WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY. And cool it with the POVs, there was just way too much back and forth here and none of them felt different enough to pull it off. 
 I'm probably going to downgrade my review of book 2 to a 1 star as well. Which is still a damn shame, given how much I enjoyed book 1. I don't know what happened to this series, but man. Don't bother. Or just read book 1 and make up your own ending.
