Well that was disappointing. Sadly this was nowhere near as good as Kings of the Wyld.
The main character in this one was really boring in comparison. We pretty much got a bystander who just told the story. There was no heart, little interaction, and no personal) intimate stakes.
In the first book we got a guy helping his best friend save his daughter — personal, friendship, high stakes. Like 60% of this book was girl joining a gang for adventure. Low/no stakes, no personal investment, and not even that much connection between the characters.
