This opens with a scene of graphic supernatural violence against a member of the Cabinet. It’s well done. It feels fresh and relevant.
Then we have a couple of chapters where half the text is about recapping from Book 1. It’s been a while since I read Book 1 so I needed the reminders but even so, it felt clumsy. If I’d have gone straight from Bok 1 to this, I’d have found it very frustrating.
I’m listening to the audiobook version. The narrator doesn't quite hack it. This is a book that jumps fr M one person to another within a chapter and I can’t always tell who I’m supposed to be listening to. If I read Book 3, I’ll go for the ebook version.
