  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

5.0

Another amazing entry into this trilogy. I liked this more than the first book - the world is better known now; the pace is faster; the character voices develop and are more recognizable. The reader is still in a fog (perhaps I should have reread the first book immediately before this one, but wanted a fresh take). Like the first book, things become less confusing intentionally and at the right times. 

I’ll read the third book within a couple weeks and have high expectation for it.
