This was fun but I preferred the second book. (Yes, I started out if order, my OCD is triggered, I don’t want to talk about it.)
My problem was the ending. It seemed like the author has had enough and wanted to wrap it up. All of a sudden, in 10 pages all the reasonable doubts and fears went out the window, everybody was forgiven, convenient solutions found and everybody sang  kumbaya around the fire, living happily ever after. Too easy.
I’ll give the third book a chance because now I’m invested in these characters.
