Ratings and reviews

This was... Not sure yet. It felt like an ok ending but there's a third book. After reading the reviews for book 3, I decided this was a better ending. Why spoil it with a bad ending? This book twisted around a lot. It wasn't as happy as his leviathan series. More swearing, definitely darker, not just because it happens at night. This series isn't bad but not one I'll reread.

I read the entire series in paper back absolutely loved it finished the entire series in 3 days could not put the book down it was that good and this is commibg from someone who doesnt really like reading

Better than the first one,explained a lot more and the characters developed much needed depth.
