I was hugely disappointed in this book, unfortunately. The reappearance of Kai Ren was the whole reason I looked forward to reading this since it was first announced, but he didn't show up until nearly the end, and even then it was less than thrilling. To be honest, not much of anything happened during most of the book. It reminded me of those papers I'd write in school where I had to bullshit my way through, just filling pages with words to meet the requirement rather than actually saying anything of substance.

For much of the book, it was basically saying Brady is extremely protective of his sister and feels out of place and undeserving of Cam because he's just an obstinate reffo, and Cam is endlessly understanding but also craves a return to the black. This was repeated a million different ways, making Brady and Cam so two-dimensional because that's basically ALL that was ever said about them.

I got the impression LH's heart really wasn't in this one, which makes me sad because I loved the first book and thought the second had SO much potential.
