F. Overall Opinion-
I really liked this book. Especially after reading the first book it has a good ending and makes you want to read more. It was a very exciting book to read. I would recommend the book to anyone. The book has a lot of twists to it especially at the end which makes it even better, and I can’t wait to read the next book.
