i think this was somehow more annoying than the first one... in terms of plot, it was a bit more entertaining (albeit still very dumb), but having read this translated somehow made the experience way worse.
a lot of of stuff i hated, but i kinda enjoyed those last pages of the penultimate chapter. i thought we'd be getting more of neil with the ravens, but of fucking course not; when does this author actually write about the interesting stuff? all we get is overexplained unimportant bits, and then a paragraph summarizing what could've been a nice scene. a big lack of "show don't tell" in these books unfortunately.
that last chapter was intriguing though and i kind of liked it. i'm just glad i'm done with this book
