This book is tough to rate be single stars. At times the pacing would feel a bit faster than I preferred. Sometimes i would reread sections thinking I missed something because things happened a tad too quickly. It's understandable as I don't think this book would have benefited from a 3rd book. As it stands I still really enjoyed the book. I would rate if I could around a 3.75, so I'll give this a 4. Not as good as the first book, but I leave this second book satisfied with how it played out in its ending.
