Significantly better than the second book. Some good slow burn re Locke and Sabetha. Makes me sad that its been 11 years waiting for the fourth book. Woof

Second time reading this book, and it's as mediocre as I remember. Still okay, but it rides on the  coattails of the previous two. I just can't make myself care much for Locke x Sabetha's forbidden, doomed romance. And the book loses momentum halfway through, and then just... keeps dragging on. 

And I'm very tired of male writers using (the threat of) rape as a plotpusher. 

If this is your first time reading the series, read it. If it's your second time, my recommendation is to stop after Red Sails.
