I think the first book was good, but that the series really hits its stride in this book. Interesting plot, a few twists, and the set up of some elements that I’m sure will be major parts of the next book.
Still a bit more dark than my usual reads, but it never went overly far while still keeping the stakes high and tension in place.
Looking forward to the rest of the series.
