Two words: Vigilante. Assassin.

This book is fantastic. Even better than the first. Read them.

I thought this was much better than the first book in this series. I felt far more engagement with the characters, and found myself looking forward to certain things happening. It's still very dark, and there were some very disturbing things that happened, but I felt things balanced out more and gave me a much more enjoyable experience.

I enjoyed this book a good deal more than book one of the series. The story was tighter, there were fewer characters to contend with, and The fight scenes were more plentiful. The writing was also improved from the first book, as I cared more about the characters than I did the first time around. I'm looking forward to book three, now that I finally feel invested in the story.

Very readable, stands alone pretty well for someone like me who doesn't want to care too much. Likeable characters. Forgettable plot.

Could read more of it but on the other hand I would be okay if I didn't.

Some of the same faults as the first, minor typos, but even better than the first. I will definitely finish this series!

Well, this was certainly easier to read (less suspension of disbelief needed, though still needed) than the first book. There was still so much freaking child abuse. Wow. I think I'll stop with the series here, as while I am curious to see where the plot goes, and what happens to Thren and Haern, I'm not curious enough to continue to put up with a slew of evil slop being poured over my brain.
