Hm. It definitely took me much longer to get through this book than it did to get through the first book (Lady Midnight.) 

I feel.. Conflicted. This book made me feel like I was dragging my feet for some of the plot, which I hate to feel. There’s so much action in some parts, but still, it all sometimes felt disjointed. 

Don’t get me wrong, the book was still good. It definitely got me excited for the last book of this series, but… Perhaps it just felt too long? Like the story was dragging for no apparent reason in some areas. Still a solid 4 star novel, I suppose.
