This series is dense and takes a long time, but it’s worth it to me. Cronin writes with a gravitas that is like scripture, and gives such reverence to moments of love both grand and small in such a dark setting. He manages to be uplifting and moving in a pretty surreal and intense story. I loved it. My eyes watered a LOT.

Incredibly slow, felt like it could be accomplished in half the time. Tooany characters to fully keep track of. Enjoyed the expansion of the world and the deepening of the characters, though the time jumps were confusing and there were some explanations lacking. Still unclear who Zero is and how he is connected to the Twelve. Enjoyed the prologue, interesting way of recapping the previous book.
