I loved the first book and was a bit confused by this one in the beginning. The book screams unreliable narrator to the reader if they have read the first book. It can be a bit of a slog, but the end does payoff. I did bounce off it the first time I read it but other people loved it so I looked up how it ended and then went back and listened to the entire thing on audio. I might have enjoyed it a bit more if I had read it right after the first book but I don’t think I will be do a reread.
