As always, a fun read. Took a little longer to get through this one. Looking forward to finishing this series and bidding a fond farewell to Royce & Hadrian.
4.5 stars.
What a ride for our main characters! This a super "worthy" sequel to the first book, as it adds a lot of background information about the characters, but still leaves some matters open to be answered, hopefully, in the next and final book.
I must admit that sometimes I got lost among all the direction changes and tricks taken by the characters, and I had to go back and see again what was happening, but overall I am very satisfied by the story, its unpredictability and its development.
I am very curious about how all the arc stories are going to end.

I usually try to pace myself when reading a series.
I try to read at least one unrelated book between the series books so I don't get tired of it.
When i comes to the Riyria Revelations, I just cant bring myself to stop.
And no, I'm not tiering of it at all.
