This one was somehow far worse than the first one.
First of all, if you took a shot for every time the word "acrid" was used, you'd be so far down the bottle you'd lose sense of time, much like this book did. Thesauruses exist, and jumping back and forth through a story is all well and fine as long as it doesn't come off being disjointed, which this one did not.
Secondly, there was no real character development, everyone was either pissed off and arguing the whole time, or doing exactly as you'd expect them to. I don't know how anyone was supposed to be sneaky in this, it was so evident I figured some of the major points out in the first book.
Lastly, this book was almost 500 pages, I really expected more out of it, even if the first one was middling despite being a bit disjointed.
I wouldn't bother with this duology unless you've got nothing else to read.
