Felt a bit long and plodding. Some cool character developments that felt like they should have happened hundreds and hundreds of pages earlier. Overall it was enjoyable but nowhere near as good as the first book in the series. The end is great and sets up some potentially awesome story arcs for the next book or two. The duel in the middle of book was fun (but the rules seemed really contrived). Chop out 200 pages of blah and I would have given this book 5 stars
