Overall, good. Didn't have sequel syndrome thank god. Not as character focused as last book, more focused on Jude balancing relationships, good and bad. Lots of discussion on political strategy.  No major problems with the book! :D I wish a certain pivotal part of the book
Jude's MONTH LONG hostage situation
was greater emphasized, as that event was a domino effect regarding the decisions of so many characters close to Jude. That event single handedly determined the last chunk of the book.
