Lame. I was marginally interested in this world and a few of the characters in the first book. But then the most interesting characters weren’t in the second book enough. But still, I was just curious enough to want to finish the series. But it really wasn’t worth it.

In some ways, plenty of stuff happens in this book. And in other ways hardly anything happens because it’s the same all over again. Try to kill Victor, fail. Terrible things happen, try to kill Victor, fail. And on and on.. Other than all the terrible things and the same thing over and over I didn’t like all the dropped plot points like the tunnels which served as an escape route but were set up as more and Greyson’s bug which did nothing. And the communicators - why didn’t Greyson and Kitty talk in Creed Manor when Victor had them separated for five days?

There’s even less Knox, so while Greyson is marginally interesting and Benjy finally got a little interesting it wasn’t enough quite enough. Not with nothing else happening in that whole section. I actually liked how it played out with Kitty and Benji, the way he broke up with her because her sense of loyalty would never let her fo it, the honesty snd maturity he showed and the way they not only stayed friends but in many ways settled better into their friendship once it was over. I’d rather there had been more time at the end for her and Knox to actually be together but such is the bane of most books.

And the “big reveal” wasn’t revealing at all. It was plain as day and begged the question why take Knox out of the story for do long when no one is going to be surprised that he shows up in the end to end it all.

I think it wax an interesting premise with a few interesting characters that just didn’t play out well. Now I know.
