This book feels longer - there is a lot of preamble before the story starts, which is the author catching you up to where everyone is geographically and figuratively - and although well written, the book is still bloated with pomposity in its language and over-philosophizing, and this detracts from what is an enjoyable story now cut short (this is the second in the trilogy, and you still can't trust anyone but the dogs it seems)...
For these reasons, this book is a struggle to love and gets three stars.
