Her Broken Pieces

While I thoroughly enjoyed the first instalment, I was utterly lost in this second one. Our FMC has parts of her memories altered or erased so she doesn't remember and trusts the wrong persons. But it is all so convoluted and we have double or even triple agents. Or they just have their very own agenda. I honestly couldn't keep up with all the intrigues and plans and plan B's. It certainly didn't help that the MMC goes by two names of which we as readers are aware but it depends on the involved persons and it is not a nickname; and so the names are just randomly thrown around. Also characters that were present in the first instalment, kind of disappear - only to be name dropped and we're supposed to remember what their story was.
From what I think I understood of the plot, it is a story of finding yourself. That there is good and bad in all of us and we decide on which we act. Of these aspects I approve. It also seems to have put a spin on the traditional archangels set way into a future of our Earth that falls back to somewhat medieval style. I haven't quite decided yet if the spin on the known legends makes it easier or even more complicated
Honestly, this book was a letdown and I'm not sure if I'll continue reading.
