I liked this one better than the first. That's one thing that I love about fantasy: the author can write a great commentary on current events but put in a fantasy world, it is easier to digest, and makes a reader think about topics at a more subconscious level. Reintgen discusses the caste system outright in this book, something that is definitely relevant in today's society. Also, his world building and creature imaginings are very original and engrossing. Can't wait to read the third!

Favorite quote:
"Food can give a man back his dignity. So can treating him with honor and respect. In the days to come, this will be our measure. Do we treat others with the dignity they deserve regardless of where they come from?" p. 284
