This wasn't as good as the first book for me, mostly because of the gratuitous number of deaths (many of which I felt were unnecessary) and frustratingly dense characters (I connected so many more things well before the characters themselves, which isn't necessarily bad, but I didn't feel so disappointed with character decisions in the first book). I hope this trilogy finds its stride again for the third book.
