By the Nameless (and the Faceless, if you’re into that sort of thing), this book is great. An example of a sequel that is an improvement on the original. Twists that wring you dry of hope, laughter, love, ugh it’s heartbreaking and sets up a great Darkest Hour for our heroes to overcome in the third book. I really hope Suri delivers with the last installation. I am genuinely extremely worried for everyone in this book.
