Holy! This book was much faster compared to book 1. Lots of crazy stuff happened in it. Not even a second of it was boring.

1 star less because I'm not sold on the ending plot (aha I need to be convinced more). But the reveal near the end was mind-blowing!

Ediss is my favourite character till now. The portrayal of PTSD and anxiety was good in this. I liked whenever the Magus showed up because the banter is awesome so need him more in the books.

The plots and plans undertaken in the story were marvelous and well thought out. Except THAT thing near the end. What the heck was that? Has Eugenides lost his mind?!
