Just as exciting as the first! It's a long book, but there's never a dull moment. The author also does a great job of making the last characters you'd expect to like likable. Def not for young kids.

I think that this was the best book in the trilogy and it gave soooo many incredible plot points like the quest to the end of the world, the Seige of Dagoska and most unlikely romance. The character work in this book is once again some of the most incredible character work I've ever seen and you continue to understand how deep the motivations and personalities of our characters go

Unfortunately I read the first part of the book years ago and it took me some time to relate to the characters. Even after reading this I can't remember all of the details of the plot.
However the book is sufficiently entertaining to keep you occupied.
The best thing about it is the brutal honesty of the characters. There are no higher moral grounds, there is no preaching, just people trying accomplish their tasks and stay alive.
Good enough to read the third part.
