reading this book feels like reading a really messed up diary written by my poor boy Fitz who’s slowly realizing how shitty everyone actually treats him and he should, in fact, stop being so nice and helpful all the time.

I didn't enjoy this as much as the first book. The treachery, plotting, and kniving nature of the antagonist grates at the reader and the main characters which is for good writing. Again not very diverse cast and there is a bit of a slow start but quickly speeds up. 

There is a new wolf character introduced and I'm not too much of a fan. It doesn't fit as well as Fitz. However the purpose and reasoning of this character unfolds later in the book. There is much more violence and gore in this one than the first.
