Superb. I was worried it wouldn’t hold up to the first book but it absolutely does. Gripping, emotional and well woven with satisfying twists and turns, this book resists the temptation to flatten a rebellion conflict into a 2D “but what about the boy” angst fest and instead creates authentic and complex dilemmas. Great characters and characterisation, well embedded foreshadowing and far too many moments I had to pause and wriggle with glee.
