Steelstriker (Skyhunter, #2)

How one of my most anticipated release of 2021 turned into one of my lowest rated read of the year, I have no idea. It was not a bad book, it just was
not it.
It oddly reminded me of that feeling when I realized Wildcard was going to disappoint me. This one felt the exact same way, but worse. Marie Lu probably chose to go for an easy path to end the duology, so the entire book fell so flat in comparison to its predecessor. There are such things called too many plot conveniences, and this one was so full of them.
I don’t want to even get started on the cliché plot and cringy inner monologues. The whole time, I just wanted the audiobook to end as quickly as possible so that I could dive into other books. I did love the main characters with my whole heart, though.

"As much as I adore the characters in this book, there are far too many plot conveniences to ignore. I hope it gets better though, as I’m only halfway through."

I finished this one this morning and you've basically written exactly how I was feeling the whole time. Compared to the first one, it was so bland. I just wanted to be done with it.
