Amazing. Rarely does the 2nd book in a great trilogy rate as good as the 1st and The Dragon Republic achieved that.

Honestly, I was kind of chugging along at the beginning of this book. I heard from a decent portion of people that this one was their favorite, and I felt like I was waiting for that to be proven true. Well, it certainly delivered.
This book was like a train picking up speed, faster and faster with no hope of breaking. All concluding with the most nail-biting, heart-wrenching, gasp-inducing last quarter of the book. 
To those who are about to start or have started but have lost momentum: PLEASE KEEP READING. 
This book left a beautiful set up for the finale, The Burning God. I’m ready for the tears. (No, I’m not.)
