Three hundred and sixty nine pages later and I still don't have a clue of what was going on in this book.
This is obviously a sequel and there was absolutely no bridging or explanation from the last book. The story starts in the middle of a torture scene and proceeds to throw a bunch of characters and confusing plots and worldbuilding together. Normally I can catch on and figure it out, but in this case I couldn't. I couldn't keep track of the characters let alone be engaged with them and I had some real reservations over the romance part - age gap is cool, high school/teacher is not.
This was a massive miss for me. Second in a series - and I didn't read the first (and won't be).
