Okay, either I’ve been listening to the audiobook performance for long enough that I’m desensitised or miracles do happen, because this audiobook performance was so much better than for the first book.

What a cracking sequel! I’m really enjoying reading through this series back-to-back and letting the story roll on as one great, big saga. It’s crazy, it’s intense, it’s angsty and there’s plenty of magic to go around.

Generally, the story took a step up in terms of maturity for this instalment. Our beloved characters only become more complex and the plot seems to constrict ever tighter around them. I’m really, really curious as to what the final outcome will be of this story because there are so many driven agendas coming in at all angles, and all working against each other.

The only other thing I could say, is make sure you have book three to hand. This ends with one of the cruellest cliff-hangers I’ve ever read …
