Star Rating: ✮✮✮✮✮
This was a bit of a slow read for me, as I could only squeeze in a couple of pages every night.
It certainly didn't start the way I expected, which threw me off a little. I was anticipating some kinda of build up to the coup at the start. Nope, totally wrong, McClellan dove straight into the fray.
The fair large amount of political intrigue is went constructed, making the interactions of the variety characters complex yet easy to follow. The world building in the novel is lax, as there are several maps at the start of each book. We tend to lose the sense of vastness and grandeur through the middle, but is redeemed in the last 100 pages. Over all the story was well thought out.
Definitely keen to see what is in store for the rest of the trilogy.
