I read the first 70 pages of this a long time ago, and put it aside for reasons I now forget. I finally picked it up again, and enjoyed it far more than I expected to! Plot, characters, worldbuilding are all awesome. Everyone whose viewpoint you read from has flaws, yet they all become likable at some point; they are not completely black and white. It's packed nearly cover-to-cover with action and suspense. I really have nothing bad to say about it. What I loved best was the world itself--a unique mix of fantasy and sci-fi, magic and machines. I've never read anything like it, and found it immensely refreshing. I remember enjoying the book that comes before this one, when I read it a long time ago, and the one that follows this will definitely be on my to-read list.

This is the second installment of the series and while it's not as good as the first part, it still held my interest and I enjoyed a more indepth look at the characters.
