The series starts to get overly complicated at this point.

I enjoyed this one more than the previous one, possibly because more bizarre stuff happened, possibly because there was less weird sexual tension and low-key sexism. It was a lot of fun the whole way through, and I think it carried itself well--it didn't feel like a "middle" book. Still a few things that irk me but much less so than the previous one.

Man, such a solid middle-of-the-trilogy book. Like the first book, full of gods and maths and theory and how much it pretty much sucks to be a young adult trying to figure themselves out. Only no angst, just intelligence and a little pouting.

I actually went and bought this book and the third one right after finishing the first. Very addictive story, very epic.

I found this book not quite as engaging as the first, but it was still good. I think it suffered a bit from "bridge book syndrome" where there's a lot of moving from book one and set up to book three and not so much content for it to stand alone by itself - an easy problem in trilogies. That said, more of the students uncovering who and what they are is a good thing, and the various paradigms being explored are still interesting.

Edit: I actually really quite enjoyed this book - and the first one in the trilogy - and it's a shame the author is someone I no longer wish to support and won't be going further in the series. John C. Wright's blatant homophobia make it very clear that he doesn't need me to buy his books. I'm sure he wouldn't want me anywhere near him at all.
