Really enjoyed this, only that last few chapters made me so mad and sad. Can’t wait to read the third book.

An exciting middle book. More fantastic prose, riveting action and memorable characters.

•  “Anyone can face ease and success with confidence. It is the way we face trouble and misfortune that defines us.” 
•  “Say one thing for Logen Ninefingers, say he's a lover.” 
•  “Course. Doing better next time. That’s what life is.”
