The Faithless was not perfect to me in the way that the Unbroken was, but it was an excellent continuation of the story. There were things that I wanted more of--Pruett and the Fingers, mostly--and overall I felt like the book could have been longer, but I anticipate those aspects taking center stage more in book three. I kept expecting the French Revolution, which meant that I was not expecting most of the plot twists. I loved the relationships. I loved the ties between magic and religion. I loved Touraine's character arc, and Luca's as well. I loved the expanded cast and the expanded world. I loved the ongoing commentaries about colonialism and decolonization. I eagerly await book three.
