So, this has gotten me to hate every character I've bothered caring about in book 1. In other words, the quality decided to jump off a cliff. 
 It's just been a cesspool of tropes one after another with nothing actually happening in the story. TBH, the 'plot' starts at around the 70% mark and by then, I just couldn't care enough. 
 The writing is bland with inconsistencies and ridiculous dialogue . Characters have no motivations; they just are. The 'big' reveals are so predictable they just made me sigh in annoyance. 
 Laia's chapters have the honour of getting me to roll my eyes the most.
