I'm not going to change my star review from 2022 bc that was my honest reaction after my first read-through- but wow that was not fun to reread. I had hoped to reread the series as a refresher for book 3, but as of now I can't imagine picking it up. Not any time soon. It took me at least a month to finish this and I REALLY had to force myself through the last half just to be done. Honest review second time around? 3.75 😬
