After the first book I was sooo excited to continue the story but was let down so fast. Too many characters which made the pacing sluggish and the distribution of “screentime” felt very uneven. Also personally it felt like too much bad/negative happening? I know it's a distopian novel but it was more of a frustrating read compared to the first book. I also didn't like how the book ended, with all the negativity throughout the book I wished it would end in nicer way to make me actually pick up book 3. I found faradays story line the most interesting and wished it would have gone deeper into the history of the scythe. It makes me sad that this story line was left absolutely open and I have to read the next book to know how it goes while I dislike most of the other story lines. But I must say I liked the addition of the thunderheas stuff. Making him more present and showing more of his thinking and how he works.
