i have a lot of mixed feelings about this one buckle in.

This series’s encapsulates female rage and i love it for that but the main character also falls into the young female idiot trope common of YA. This girl is absolutely so dumb and rushes into everything. She knows absolutely nothing and it drives me nuts. 

Furthermore, the plot makes 0 sense. Within the first seconds of the book the entire plot of book 1 is negated and forgotten. We are no longer trying to solve the twin sisters murder, we are no longer trying to solve the mystery- it’s now completely new problems and too many to count. She doesn’t know who she is, she looses powers, she’s considering marriage and doesn’t for one second look into the murders of the girls and the murder of her sister directly. 

Sure the underground lake tryst is fun, the gluttonous ball is fun, sexy training is fun but absolutely none of the plot makes sense. 

The relationship is so extremely toxic. Both him and her break each others trust and repetitively lie and betray each other but it’s painted as a healthy communicative relationship that’s just protective and needing to lie and betray for plot and protection.

Yet again the ending resolves nothing and leaves on a cliffhanger.
