Too dark. Too heavy. Too long. Too sad. Too repetitive. Too far removed in style from book 1.
Reminded me a lot of all the issues I had with the third Hunger Games novel. Constantly going back to square one. Constantly pointing out that the world isn‰ЫЄt black and white to the point of me going OK I GET IT. The parallels to WWII were too sad for me to handle and I also read it in the hours I was awake with my baby who was going through her first stomach bug at 6 months old so to be fair I was NOT in the right mental space for this book. I probably won‰ЫЄt be reading book 3 in the series.
