Wow! Just when you think it can't get any darker - it does! I love Lawrence's non-linear narrative structure for this series as it adds in lots of little, and big, twists and turns that certainly surprised me! This is obviously the second book in the trilogy so I don't wish to provide spoilers, but where the first book was good and certainly cleverly plotted, this book is great! I was moved to tears more than once and found myself cheering Jorg in his hideous calculations. This is a very character driven series and in this book - through Jorg - you discover more about the Broken Empire, its past and the politics of other kingdoms. All in all, I highly recommend this book and this series and can't wait to read the final installment!
Didn't like it quite as much as the first one, but I will read the next one when it comes out!
Brilliant. Better in every aspects from its predecessor. Seriously Jorg makes prince joffrey from game of thrones look like a pussy. You can't love him but you can't stop yourself from rooting for this guy to achieve whatever he wants in any way possible.
The switch in timelines was great with both the plots very engaging. Jorg's insights and thoughts about the mundane things in life are the little gems scattered throughout the book.
Highly recommended.
