Was surprised at the tonal shift between this second book in the series and the first. Overall, this book built on the storyline in a meaningful and gripping way. Was more or less engrossed in the story the entire time. Fantastic sequel.

Great humorous moments, dark in tone but not in practice, satisfying conclusion, drags a wee bit before the final act.
