Such great characters and such a great plot. This story is the best I've ever read in a long time. I can't wait to read the rest of the series. I recommend this whole series to anyone who wants a wonderfully constructed story with a wonderfully constructed world.

Reread (2023): I forgot how good this is.

4.5- Phenomenal! I loved this book installment much more than the last one, though there were parts that remained confusing by the end (namely the romantic subplot that honestly came from nowhere, despite the authors attempts to convince us otherwise). I will say that this book hurt a lot more than the last one - Gen’s painful torture and it’s aftermath (ah, the aftermath) were difficult to read. But this book managed its characterizations in a wonderful yet surprising way, refusing to apologize for the actions of its characters yet managing to make us root for them regardless.
