What a tone shift from the first book! Honestly this one kind of went off the rails into unhinged territory in the second half. It was a very slow political machination start and then it turns into everything falling into place depending on who did the better job at plotting and scheming... Absolutely wild. I don't know how I feel about it fully but I'm going to think about it for a long time.
