Really great, intense book. Breakneck pace. Mix of Ender's Game and Game of Thrones. There were a lot of characters and it was a little hard to track at times, but that didn't really hold me back. Enjoyed the world and am very curious to see where the trilogy goes.

Felt like a more sprawling story than the more contained romp of the first book, but it grew well. Great twists and turns, continued awesome worldbuilding

Stuck the landing! Really great plot, good wrap up of the previous books. I think overall the first is probably the best but this one was great. Really touching to see him interact with friends that he's known all this time.
