A fun read! Once again, I thoroughly enjoy the world and lore. The characters, new and old, were a delight to read about! I look forward to the final book in the series to see how this tale concludes!

Really Really Good
A great second installment in this brutal series. Many questions from book one are answered and many more are asked.
Book 2 picks up about a month after the end of Book 1. Immediately we’re thrown back into action, plotting, and lots of murder. We are introduced to a few new characters who add to the already wonderful cast of characters. I really appreciated the deeper exploration of each of the main characters motives and feelings in the things going on around them. That was something I thought was off in Book 1, but was not an issue here.
And of course we discover some interesting things about my favorite character.
The stakes are raised even higher. I can’t wait to get my hands in book 3!
Thanks to Orbit and NetGalley for an ARC copy!
