This was really kind of a bummer for me. I really really loved the first book, so I was so excited to finally read this. I had really high expectations going in to this. And sadly they weren't really met. This wasn't too bad, but I feel like it could have been so much better. It took a long time to actually get into the story, and by the time I finally did it was practically the end of the book. I'll continue to love the first book, but I probably won't ever come back to this one for a re-read
