Not sure what I think about the ending; it's rather bleak. Not sure what I think about the magical infection of the soul that's going on, either, or how manipulative every. single. character. is. But oh boy, it's still a very compelling story.

While I love this world and the characters, the overall plot of this book left me frustrated and even confused at times as to why characters took certain actions.

A slightly disappointing sequel. There were a few pacing issues for me and the plot didn't feel particularly strong. I still enjoyed the characters and my time with them.
