This did not quite live up to the first volume, in my opinion, but I still enjoyed it! I think there was maybe a bit too much plot though, we never really got to slow down and consider the actual ramifications of everything that was happening to the characters. That being said, the story is engaging and loved the friendships that were growing throughout the book. It's a shame that I'll have to wait so long for the third one now, I have so many questions!
