Loved book one. I would have liked to see this plot with the alternate ending rather than this one. But it wasn’t bad.

There was a lot of fluffiness that was unneeded in my opinion. I feel like that should have been used for us to get to know these other characters more. I didn’t feel any of the deaths in this book except one. But I suppose neither did Mare.

Mares thought process is a roller coaster. Overconfident one minute. Underconfident the next. It was exhausting at times honestly.

Overall not a bad sequel.
