There is so much I could say about this book, and I know I could not possibly hope to capture all my feelings in this review but I will do my best. This book is stellar. The characters are rich, the plot is excellent, and the twists are gut-wrenching. Each book in the series follows a different character, but they are all connected and fully thought out. Rarely does a sequel that switches protagonists manage to keep hold of my attention and interest, but this series did so not only once but twice. The time and scale of the story is so impossibly epic that i am still not sure how it managed to contain all of it within these pages. This trilogy is stellar, and has everything I could want: romance, action, intrigue, philosophy, political critiques, and most of all heart. The length of the series may seem daunting but I promise you it is worth it.
