I enjoyed this, but found some of the characters less interesting than in The First Law trilogy - some of them seem a bit much like they are recycled versions of those in that series.

The premise of taking revenge on seven enemies made for a certain sense of repetition and predictability about the book, which the author didn't entirely conquer, although it certainly wasn't a dealbreaker from me finishing the story.

I think perhaps I should have left more of a gap from the First Law Trilogy before I read this one as that might have helped it seem more fresh.
