This one was kind of all over the place which is to say it felt a lot like it was setting the stage for what is coming next—lots of moving things into place and yet, I enjoyed it. It is violent, and there are vivid descriptions of that violence, and dark but it is also populated by some really interesting characters easy to hate and/or love. And then there is the WHAT THE WHAT JUST HAPPENED ending. I‘ll definitely be reading the next book.
