this story definitely isn't the best of this genre but it sure was entertaining. 

I finished it in 3 days (2, technically, because I read until 3 am to finish it) and I was not expecting me to be kicking my blanket and silent screaming at the last 100 pages. while I do wish some things were built on more than they were, there was some really nice payoff
yes, I'm talking about when Benedikt found out that Marshall was alive
to things set up in the previous book. I'm glad they managed to tie the monster with the blood fued; I feel like that's one of the things I was missing in the previous book. 

as for the plot twists, there were a lot and I can say that I clocked some of them very quickly
Rosalind and Dimitri
, but again some others I don't think were as built up as I would've wanted them to be
Marshall and General Shu
. they were still entertaining and I wasn't looking for a serious book to dissect the craft of. this sucked me in and I really don't know what it was about it.

definitely need to read the Last Violent Call sometime soon. I don't think I'm ready to let the main characters go quite yet.
