Exceptional . . . those who anxiously awaited this sequel will find the only problem is that the wait must begin again once the last page is turned
A lightning rod around which storm clouds gather to burst and strike in the trilogy's final book next year
Utterly gripping . . . extraordinary . . . a complex and intricate world of warring powers, tangled morals, and twisting motivations
