This is one of those books that I HAVE to stay up until 1am to finish. It's entirely addicting, because it's so well plotted and the characters are given so much to do, in tasks and emotional battles.

A common pitfall of middle books in a series is that there's nothing happening, it all just becomes set-up for the grand finale or clean-up from the first book. With this book2, it avoids all that. It feels necessary and entertaining in every page.

The balance of our POV characters really impressed me. We're following three characters, and I was invested in all of their stories.
