I really wanted to love this book because the setting is amazing. However it was incredibly boring until I had read 3/4 of the book. After that the plot became clear but at first it was just a lot of vignettes from people trying to survive / people being their dark broody selves. I'm not sure about giving part three a try.

I don't know why I didn't get it the first time around - was it too long ago that I'd read the first part? Anyway, I loved this part two. It again examines all the important questions and there's a very nice arc to it. I love fantasy that grapples with the issues of our time. Changed the rating from 3 to 5 stars.
