A good continuation of the story, however, I skimmed through a lot of the war strategy and talk. The action was good back and forth and although I feel like the story could have easily ended but I'm excited to see how the rest of the story will play out.
Excellent continuation of the series. Some portions were a bit predictable, yet offset by the surprises. Many things are yet unclear that have been developed and I am eager to get to them in book 3!
