This is Where I Quit the Series

I liked the first book. I liked the characters and the world-building, but book 2 is where I stop. Maybe I don't have the necessary cultural background to appreciate the structure of the story-telling, but the pacing of the whole book just didn't do it for me. Events and plot developments felt random and unrelated to each other, and I had a hard time seeing how the different challenges Sunny faced came together into a coherent character arc.
