The Southernmost Star

The Southernmost Star had a lot more Scheming than The Sons of Mil did, making it hard to follow at times. The Southernmost Star was centered around Politics, Bloodlines, and Religion. There are graphic descriptions of violence, much like the first book, though this book explores darker themes than The Sons of Mil did. I read The Southernmost Star in one day,  I could not put this book down. I felt the constant need to keep reading and find out what would happen next,  and was constantly shocked by the story. For some of the characters it was incredibly difficult to figure out if I loved them or hated them. Sometimes, it was both simultaneously.
