I’ll be completely honest - in the first half of the story I was feeling very meh about this story. Halfway through, I definitely became more invested. The last 15% really grabbed me though - I kind of had an inkling where it might be going - and let’s just say I’m really invested now.
There was much more emotion in the second half, and I think that was what I was missing in the first half. Raven lacked heart for me until August rocked up. And he lacked personality without her.
Hence the four stars. If I was rating this book on the last 15%, I’d be giving it five without a moment’s hesitation.
So from being unsure about reading the second book, I’m going to pick it right up now and get started, because things have really gotten interesting…
