An excellent sequel, God's grave absolutely did not disappoint! The hardest thing about writing a sequel with such a known character is how to keep the character's development and growth believable, consistent, and still flow with the guidance of the story. 

With that, I am delighted to already have the final book beside me so I can read this story just as it feels it was written-back to back.

That was absolutely stunning. I was afraid to be disappointed because i really loved the "school" ambiance of book 1 but Godsgrave got me just as crazy. More blood, more violence, more treasons, more revelations, more questions, more fears and jubilance. I felt powerful, weak, mysterious, devastated. Well, it's been a dense, epic and exhausting reading but here I am, begging for book 3 to be in my hands right now.
