I liked this book more than the first one. I takes all that it intoduced and develops it.
I loved Valerius and his wife Alexia cracking spicy jokes at eaxh other. They actually care deeply for each other and their subjects which is probably more rare that white tigers.
Political intrigue is extremely realistic here. Pewerful people doing bad stuff and suffering 0 consequences. And being Shitty to their subjects. It was more or less easy to follow which coming from a person who cannot remember a name longer than 5 letters says something.
I want to discuss all the turns and twists but it'll spoil the fun so I won't.
