Man I was so disappointed in this book after reading Legendborn. I was so excited to see where Bree's story / character arc was going to go.
The plot went nowhere, and any character development that happened was backtracked.
The characters made a decision and started down a path, then they changed there minds, started on a new path, and so on and then the book ends.
The tension between Bree and Sel felt so manufactured and nonsensical, just to keep the "who will she choose" alive.
I loved Legendborn enough that I powered through, and will pick up book 3 when it comes out, but I'm nervous about it.
