Some parts felt a little long, but I forgive it.

Probably closer to 3.5 stars. It could have used some editing to cut it down a bit and there were a couple of plot points that could have been tied together better, but this was an enjoyable read overall!

I didn't like the first book all that much, but people said that the series gets better so I read this one.

Over 600 pages and very little happens. This could have easily been cut in half to reduce the amount of repetitive internal monologuing. The consent is still questionable and it was in desperate need of an editor and internal style guide.

I have the third book checked out and ready to read, but I think I'll move on with my life.

I'm a sucker for sentient books and snarky secondary characters.

I wanted to love this, but I had to force myself to finish it. It just never grabbed me for whatever reason.
