4.5

One thing the authors do well is utilizing the prologue in setting up the tone of the story. This prologue, just like the prologue in the first book, grabbed my attention very well. The book has 4 POVs which can be jarring at points but the story converges in a compelling way. There are some slow parts but the authors do a good job of building tension. I also like the addition of more of the political aspect of what has been going on. I also like the new characters and what they added to the story.
