This was a marked improvement over The Bone Season, even though I enjoyed the former a little more. The world building here felt much more natural and while the plot was a little weaker it was still very good. Loved Paige even more her, found her decisions to be more natural here. Also loved the development between her and Warden.
jaxon you fucking bitch!!!! I knew he was sketchy but I didn't know he was THAT sketchy
The combat flowed really well and the final half was excellent.
