I loved this just as much as the first, if not more. I adore these characters and the growth they go through in this second book is impressive. The plot is tense, constantly keeping me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next. I cannot wait to dig into book 3 and just more of Abercrombie's writing in general. He's quickly become a new favourite author for me!
