This book surprised me in the end. It started off very slow and I was not a fan of the writing style. The book did not pick up until around chapter 15, which is halfway through the book. Most people would have given up by that point. Once it picked up it was definitely a page turner to figure out how things would end, I just wish it had picked up sooner.

The book is very hard to follow. There’s a lot going on and it is also slow paced. I tried reading a physical copy as well as doing an audiobook and could not get through it.

Very slow compared to the first book. Does not give the same vibes. Was unable to get into the book.
