Change of style but still a good read.
In this instalment of the story, we hear from both main characters point of view and to begin with, this was quite disconcerting, however, with already having an emotional investment in the characters I carried on and found it really works. A rewrite of book one to also be in the style would be great or the next book making it clearer why the story is told in this way. In this volume I found the ending to be left in a very uncomfortable place, so if you don't like being left hanging, perhaps you should make sure book 3 is next to you before reading this one.
The character's adventures continue here, with the advancement of the back story as well as adding intriguing additional stories which drive the story forward well, keeping me engaged throughout.
I would recommend this as a good read for all. Just remember my warning about the ending.

Reviewed honestly after receiving a copy as ARC.

I was surprised how little tired book suffered from middle book syndrome. The main plot of the bookwas a little weaker than the overall arc of the trilogy, but that didn't matter to me that much. I must admit when the bullying started I felt the bullying tactics didn't match with the age of the perpetrators, but she got it right by the end. I have read other reviewers complaining that the strong character Sonea showed in the first book disappeared in this one, but I think this is unfair. In the first book she was in a territory she understood and had confidence because of that understanding. In this book, she is in a world foreign to get upbringing where society is set against her and it's acting out is prejudices onto her, of course her confidence is going to take a hit! I felt the spark of defiance still shone within her, even if it wasn't as forthright as it one was. I'm guessing this will return on the list installment.
