Brilliant. Better in every aspects from its predecessor. Seriously Jorg makes prince joffrey from game of thrones look like a pussy. You can't love him but you can't stop yourself from rooting for this guy to achieve whatever he wants in any way possible.
The switch in timelines was great with both the plots very engaging. Jorg's insights and thoughts about the mundane things in life are the little gems scattered throughout the book.
Highly recommended.
