Harder to read than the first (collection of) book(s).

i found Paul extremely angsty and frustrating for most of the book and really bought in to his own belief that he was trapped by destiny and it would end badly. When things turned out for the best, it felt a little deus ex machina, though i must acknowledge that the breadcrumbs were all there.
