I enjoyed the plot, the story of this book. However there was so much over-the-top violence it actually detracted from the story for me. So many details were beyond gross for absolutely no reason but shock value. The villains are cruel for cruelty's sake. I don't know if I'm going to finish the trilogy. The ending of this book was pretty satisfying without needing to see what comes next.
