I don’t think this was better than the first one, but at the same time I think this one did a great job at expanding the world of ring. I’m interested in reading the next book of the series, but I am not rushing to find out what happens next. The excitement of ring was not matched with spiral and that’s a bit disappointing.

This was so much fun and I really enjoyed it!
Loved the pacing and the feels of the book.
The character is deeply flawed but not in a bad way. More so in a way where you are rooting for her to find her way and get the help she needs.
Looking forward to reading more from this author.

Couldn’t really get into this.
It was fine and a fun idea, but some parts lagged for me. Certainly would revisit this, but it just wasn’t for me this time around

Oh wow this was very good.
I truly didn’t know what I was reading for a good portion of the book, and then suddenly it all hits you.
