3.0

Just as chaotic and intimidating as book 1, but also very much enjoyable. I think I liked book 1 better, and I have trouble putting my finger on exactly why: I think it felt more like a personal story, with a main character I could empathize with, who was on a noble quest to right the wrongs of the world. This story just seemed to grab me less: it's a man trying to find and rescue his love across the world, intertwined with a confusing and chaotic apocalyptic war. Both seemed less engaging than the story of book 1, which relates to this book only in a couple specific ways. While it is a sequel, it has a very different feel to it.
