I liked Fourth Wing a lot more. The author tried to fit so many new storylines and characters into this book. As a result, the pacing was quick and some storylines/characters were not fully fleshed out. At times I found there to be plot inconsistencies that would have benefited from closer editing. The torture scenes were really graphic. I’m also personally disappointed by the ending but hopeful the next books will get back on track! This book had high highs and low lows! Worth a read if you love the series and main characters.
