The first book was dark but still a fun adventure whereas this one felt really bleak and unnecessarily violent. I'm sure I'll eventually finish the series but I don't think I'm ready for more death, torture, and misfortune anytime soon... I did read it in 2 days but I'm not sure if it's because I was gripped by the story or because I wanted to get it over with.
