I'm really liking this trilogy. Book 2 doesn't suffer from 'middle child syndrome' as much as other middle books that I've read in the past. I like the varied viewpoints and how the characters are developing. Superior Glokta is a torturer and continues to do horrible things, but I even like his introspective sarcastic humor.
