This is fundamentally a war novel and, like many middle books in a fantasy trilogy, has neither the fun of introducing a new world and characters, nor the satisfaction of a conclusion. All three of the protagonists were incredibly frustrating, though there were some great supporting characters. That said, I need the final book ASAP!

Overall I enjoyed it but watching Amari make the wrong choice at every possible moment was so frustrating.

This book was absolutely amazing. I didn't know how Tomi Adeyemi would improve on the first book's perfection, but she did. This book was everything.
