This was fun! I was really happy to be back after Aeronaut's Windlass, since I loved that so much when I first read it.
There isn't any spice, but there are a number of fade-to-black scenes which are done really well.
There's one plotline in this book that is less interesting/integral which is unfortunate, and it felt a little odd that it was there at times. I think there was just not enough for all the characters to do. But the action was good and exciting, Butcher really knows how to write a good character scene, and there's some unresolved interpersonal tension that I'm glad isn't resolved yet but was handled well.
There will definitely be a book 3, but this one doesn't end on a huge cliffhanger. There are unresolved plot things but it didn't feel incomplete, which I appreciated.
