I liked this book significantly better than the first one. I think it’s entirely too long and could be cut down by 200-250 pages, but the payoff at the end is worth it. I docked it by .25 because there were times I was so bored I avoided reading it and there were other time that I was actively finding pockets of time in my day to keep reading. Ultimately it was worth my time but SJM is killing me with these 800 page reads lol
