I really enjoyed reading book one as a buddy read. But this book just... Idk. The ending of book 1 was chaos. This book just doesn't have the same intensity level as there feels like there is just so little going on and no real connections between the characters. 

We have decided to not continue reading this book and are now reading other books together instead. Was it fun to start? Yes. But I quickly lost interest and then continued reading for a good while in hopes it could find its footing. It just didn't. At least, not within the first half of the book. I am marking it as read to rate and review and then to the DNF pile it goes.
