4.5 stars... this series continues to deliver. 
 The high stakes continue to actually feel high and I spent a lot of time muttering, "What the hell? This isn't good. Ooooh nooo." intermittently at the book. So there's that. 
 I honestly have NO idea how book 3 is going to wrap everything up. But you can bet I'll be reading it soon! 
 For real. Read this series.
