Notes:
(1) I don't think many people who've read this would disagree that the only truly interesting and exciting thing about this book is the final scene.
- Which isn't so much a final scene as a Marvel-style post-credits teaser.
- Yes, let's try to make this character cool by proxy.
(2) Marginally better than the last book but still awfully rote with zero character depth.

Notes:
(1) I don't know how much time's passed between this and the previous book—judging by the coma subplot, not much—yet a group of cartel-trafficked women are suddenly a deadly team of crack-shot badasses?
- Granted, life's tougher in Central America, but this is stretching plausibility.
(2) At least there's a new, colorful villainess here; albeit still kind of generic.

Notes:
(1) The main point of tension in the last book was whether Maurice would wake up from his coma.
- Not that it's nothing, but give me some higher stakes than worrying about a character we only (barely) saw in Volume 1.
- Everything else was just a generic gangster turf war plot.
(2) Is it too much to ask for some character development?
- Or flaws, I'd love some flaws.
