Slightly more political than the first book, follow Darrow as he builds his power structure across Mars. Reaper has ascended and a revolution is coming. Roque, Tactus, Cassius, Mustang and Sevro is back, but they’re not all on Darrow’s side. I don’t want to speak too much to the plot, but know that it is incredibly intricate, smart and sets the tone nicely for the third book.
I think it a step down from book one, but still good. it did drag in the beginning for me and suffered slightly from second book syndrome where it tries to set up the latter book while giving a call back to the first one.
