This book was nothing like it’s predecessor or the first book in the series . However you wish to term it. The story was nothing short of containing nothing of substance . Long winded and banal . The narrator , whom I experienced on another book which I had to return , is awful. Note to narrator and whomever : if you’re going to try and do vernacular , accents, regional or presumed ethnic voiceovers , PLEASE don’t let Mr Pierce attempt an African American urban accent . It was cringeworthy and tbh, I’m not sure how the editors allowed it to pass as anything other than verging on stereotypically racist . This is not necessarily an accusation toward Mr Pierce but someone else should’ve said this won’t work .
