The first book I gave 5 stars, this book I would like to give 4.9 stars.
Its was brilliant, very slow to get to the brilliance, but still brilliant. The world building, character development, the plot and twists, everything was brilliant. However, the pace was very shaky, the book lost the grip it had on me from the first book a few times. But then Ruocchio pulled me back in with the grip of a vice, my eyes and ears and all my senses were fully in his power, unable to leave Hadrian Marlowe and his world of friendship and death.
This book did a lot better than the first, but some aspects worse. But alas, the greatest teacher is failure, and I'm sure the third book will be amazing, I'm certainly hooked now!
