solseit's review against another edition
5.0
On a re-read, this is easily a 5 star read! I do not think I caught a few remarkable things the first time around. It is a story about second chances (and there are at least three who get these second chances here). Loved the theme around choices. Top notch.
Better late than never! Review is finally in!

Review to come; I struggle to avoid gushing right now. The main features are the story (so much happening, so many different story lines balanced beautifully) and the characters. Their development is just uncanny; their morality is dubious in many cases and it makes it for an incredible journey.

Esto es un no parar de acción, batallas y traiciones. A nivel de desarrollo de personaje, eso sí, muy poca cosa. Pero me lo he pasado súper bien leyendo esta segunda entrega.

Immense. Such a gripping book with fantastic character development, plot and just general writing. Could not put it down and can't wait to read the next one.
