I'm giving this two stars solely for the last like 30 pages, the rest of the book was just one giant No from me. 

My biggest gripe was that this book completely ruined everything that happened in the first one. Like I get that we were supposed to see characters in a different light but this book just completely did a 180 on certain characters. 

Also, there was basically no plot until the last 150ish pages. 

So yeah I didn't like this book until the very end. Overall, 2 stars
