I have to say started strong but there some part I did not find interesting in the middle. In the end was felt like more of build up emotionally for the next book. The first trilogy is definitely my favorites as focus only Darrow POV this multiple POV is kind of boring/annoying. I found Darrow, Mustang, and some time Lysider POV have more action dynamic and pushing the plot. I would still would recommend as a read due to few scene found interesting: 

1.   Darrow fight with Lysander  on mercury 
2.Mustang being overthrown 
3.return of Cassius

Holy shit. This was a tough read in the fact that sometimes I had to put the book down and process what had happened. The violence, brutality, and heartbreak in this book is not for the faint of heart.
