2.0

With the third book, I found the structure and style becoming tedious. The continued cycle of 'triumph, betrayal, hopelessness, clever triumph, repeat' didn't hook me. Meticulously detailed sequences leave nothing to the imagination, making the multiple battle and torture sequences exhausting. The crassness of multiple charcters is cartoonish and grating, as the same bits play out in the same way for a thind book in a row. Ultimately the vision of revolution is interesting but the journey to get there is less so
