And here I though the first one was an emotional roller coaster!
I know it's never good when I devote myself the characters too much, but I just cant't help it when reading about Sin and Boyd! It's impossible not to get attached to them. You can surely try, but let me assure you that you're going to fail.

Are you emotionally prepared to read this book? Surely not.
Will you ever be emotionally prepared for it? I gave myself a few days time after having finished the first one to calm the inner turmoil I was in, so I can tell you frankly: No you can't prepare yourself for it.

It follows the same scheme as the first one: Give you the illusion that everything will be alright and that they'll be happy just to rip your heart out in the next few chapters and crush it brutally, and then let you sink into despair with the certainity that nothing will be okay ever again before giving you a nice warm blanket of some comfort, and then abandoning you in the cold where you'll be for the rest of the book with a hint of hope on the very last page.

Requirements for reading this book:
- a person that will hug you and tell you that everything is eventually going to be okay and that the pain you feel will go away
- a blanket and a warm cup of tea
- some stuffed animal you're not fond of so you can vent some of the anger and frustration you'll feel, because you'll most certainly feel the urge to kill some agency people

It helps if you already experienced series finales and are accustomed to having your emotions tormented by te hands of writers.

Good luck!
