Prairie Fire

I wanted to like this more since I really enjoyed the first book. I still loved Siobhan's voice, but the book mostly lacked plot, and the twist at the end: NO. I don't understand it in terms of the world that was built. It seems to serve no real purpose and left me with more questions than answers. It also felt manipulative. Like it was only there to elicit emotion, but since it wasn't tied to any greater purpose that I could discern, it was unearned emotion. There also seemed to be a lot of setup for potential political conspiracies and shadowy henchmen that just never really materialized. Which again left me wondering at the point of the whole tale at all.
