How I read this: Free ebook copy received through NetGalley

I read the first book a couple of years ago, when it came out. Bummer for me, the recap on what happened in it is like a sentence long and barely covers any of it, and I don't tend to reread books (only select favorites), so I had trouble figuring out the whys and hows of what's going on. I think the author meant the reader to read these books straight one after the other. I was still able to figure it out, but if you can, it's best to read these in sequence.

Aside from the lack of proper recapping, this book reads much better than the earlier one! It's not often that you rate the sequel better than the original - but I knew this story had something, and now I'm glad to find out I was right. The characters are also much better written, more defined in my opinion - at least from what I remember of the first book. The book left me with a lot of feelings, mostly wistful and sad (I remember the last one left me angry with the characters! 😂)

This book moved me, the story comes together in a way that it didn't in book one, and it's all as if the first one was just a setting. I really got invested in the characters' lives, and I actually have no idea what's going to happen next - I had strong hunches last time. Now I'm kind of bummed out I'll have to wait till the next one again! I hope I won't forget the plot this time 😂

Long story short, this series is definitely worth a go.

I thank the publisher for giving me a free copy of the ebook in exchange to my honest review. This has not affected my opinion.
