I can see myself really loving this on a reread, and I think the same is probably true of much of the series. While I was reading, the tone and focus of the book seemed to shift dramatically a couple of times – never irrecoverably, but some of the twists and turns came almost too out of the blue. (This is a series that really loves hiding information from the reader.) The final third, though, was incredibly satisfying, and I'm looking forward to seeing where the series goes next.
