It took me a minute to get into the book because it just kind of took off running at the start as if there was no break from the last book, and took me a minute to settle in and catch up, but then I enjoyed it. Lots going on, but a good story progression and some background details filled in. Most of the end was not surprising at all to me, except the very last twist, but I enjoyed the other POVs at the very end. Also, I love Ridoc's character - he's hilarious.
