This was a fantastic sequel with many twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way through! It took me so long to finish because I had been spoiled for the ending and was so afraid to get to that point. I FINALLY finished it though and highly recommend it!

There is quite a bit of racism towards Downworlders in this book and the trilogy as a whole.
