I loved book 1 (City of Last Chances) so much - this one was sometimes better sometimes worse, but I overall liked City better.

I've heard this book described as fantasy M*A*S*H, and I have to agree - funny quirky characters, but doesn't shy away from the reality of war. The first half was so good - intense, exciting, more amazing world building.

The second half felt a bit too episodic - some events just ended too quickly for me to take them seriously, even if they were still fun.

I love this world and how authentic the characters are. I'm not sure if there will be more in this world, but I'd read it if there was.
