I have again been surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. I heard from most who have read it, that this is the weaker of the series and I do get why however it is still a really fun read for me. 
I like getting to know Steris and her very A type personality.  Getting a good mix of both male and female characters makes a good change from era 1 as well as skayward and warbreaker.  
You would think having 3 or at times 4 different POVs in 1 chapter gets confusing, surprisingly it's not. It just makes the whole book seem more like watching a film. In fact, the pacing, POV switches and overall story telling style really is like watching a movie in the best sense of the word.
