4.0

I had a much better time with this book and prefer it to the series opener. We get more of the motivations, cruelty, mindsets, and machinations of protagonists and antagonists. Also certain reveals and spiritual manipulations heightens the stakes and I can't wait to see where these moves and choices take us in the concluding book.
