Ok, but

In book 1 we meet the vine witch, elena. Book 2 is about the girl she was shackled to in the jail. Book one was exceptional. I reread it this weekend to ferment the story so I could fall in fall with book 2. Maybe my own expectations were too much... little things like misspellings of names from one sentence to the next overwhelmed me and at times the story took too many turns and then attempted swivels back to where they had attempted to connect. In 10 days book 3 is released and I'll read that as well. While it was good, it just didn't have the excitement or breadth book 1 did. I hope and wish well for book 3.
