I'm not sure La Nora has done a trilogy quite like this - just centered on one main character and plot. So much of this book felt like Groundhog Day, with the main character waking up, cooking, working, going to bed, getting haunted at 3 AM, rinse and repeat. Even The Anticipated Event they all prepared for over several chapters went by in a few unmemorable pages. Just very clearly treading water after the setup of book 1 and before the payoff in book 3. zzzzz
