Enjoyed 85% of this one. 

So here is what I did not like:
- Definitely could've been chopped, but not as much as Iron Flame. 
- Give me ALL the characters on the list in the front
- I understand WHY we needed the different perspectives at the end, but it really threw off the flow of the story considering for the first 475 pgs. that did not happen 
- We know there are two more books, so we know there will be a cliff hanger. But this one felt almost too ambiguous. 

But this, in my opinion, was definitely better than Iron Flame. Still nothing will beat book 1.
