Fifty Shades Darker was not as good as the first book in the trilogy, but I thought it had more of a plot. I'm still trying to decide if this whole "having a plot" thing is good for this type of trilogy. I think the erotica takes precedence in the novel and the underlying story, sort of a thriller, sort of retracts from the purpose of the book. But then again, how much sex can these characters have before the reader gets bored? I'm ready to read the third installment very soon so hopefully that review will be able to wrap up my thoughts on the trilogy!
