Good points / bad points:
I am enjoying this book. The first part of the book is very slow, and it's mostly setting up for the second half. Our three main characters are Knox, Phoebe and Maeve. I personally thought that they were very similar. We did not have to have their separate perspectives. Only one of them should have been chosen and continued with. I never know who is talking. Which is very annoying. I did like that we had some characters from last book that made cameos. I also liked that the book hinted at a death at the beginning via tv news segments. It is very interesting to speculate who died and what happened. I did enjoy this read.
