I loved Conviction and was happy to catch up with Anna and Fin. Even if I enjoyed the story and appreciated the style of writing/storytelling I found it less gripping than Conviction.
I assume that the mix of religious fanatics/artefacts/family issues didn't work at best and, even if entertaining, it was a bit confusing at time.
Even if I don't recommend it as stand alone it's an entertaining book.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
