This one lagged for me a bit, but it still had a good finish. Looking forward to reading the last volume to see how all of this concludes, but the characters have become real friends at this point.

A lot of build up from the first book is finally explored here and it was absolutely amazingly well done.

Gripping, though less so than the first book in the series. I am looking forward to the final installment.
