I might have enjoyed that one even more than the one before. After a quick chat with my bf's mother (who's kindly lending them to me), we agreed the best parts (for us) were the fact all these characters are evolving, the female characters were strong and intelligent but still had believable flaws, and the politics of the world are pretty interesting and require a few brain cells. This book in particular made me really curious about Faith's father, and Judd (good thing he's the center of the next book). It's not just about the love stories (no matter how good they can be) but this world is really entertaining.
