It was superb. though it wasn't intense as the previous book. the plot twists are crazy and more violent. The charwcter development is wonderful. I like the ending. not the typical ones I usually see on NA books.





Sarai is surprisingly a bit annoying to me! I'm finding her to be naive and childish. Which, writing that I remember hearing somewhere that when a person is traumatized at a young age they can become emotionally stunted and live life emotionally stuck in the age they were traumatized. And, if that is true then Sarai's character makes more sense to me. But, at times I was rolling my eyes at her.
Also, the ending satisfied my interest in the story line. If I wasn't in this read-a-long I would likely end here. However, because I am committed to the read-a-long I will continue. And, I am interested to find out if I wish I had stopped with book 2 or if I get pulled back in and am grateful that I continued. I bring that up just because there have been other series I stopped and I've always wondered what I missed out on.
Kind of what all of you have said about Sarai/Izabel's character, I definitely get. The first time I read this I was so frustrated with her because she's always jumping the gun, especially how she thought she could take Hamburg all by herself in the beginning. But as much as sometimes she annoyed me, I think I would have been WAY disappointed in her character if she was a natural at not only killing, but the finesse details of carrying out a job. I like that she makes these mistakes because it showed me that she's not perfect and still learning. It would have been unbelievable for me if she was just as good as Victor was, ya feel me?
