This is a hard one for me to rate, because honestly I spent a good chunk of this book confused and frustrated. This is by design as the author clearly wants you to be in the dark as these plot threads are gradually revealed and connected, but as a reader, asking me to push through more than half of this 20+ hour audiobook with only vague speculation about what's going on...it felt like a lot. I might have DNFed it if I didn't know others who had pushed through and assured me there was a payoff.

There was a payoff, and I'm glad I read it, and I will likely continue with the Locked Tomb series, but even at the end I had to head to the Wiki to make sure I grasped everything that happened here. If you loved the first one, then give this one a chance, but don't try to listen while multitasking and be prepared to endure the uncertainty.
