Really impressed that the sophomore effort in this trilogy is nearly as excellent as the first. At about the same length, it took me a little longer to read this book because work had me so exhausted that I fell asleep a few nights after reading just a couple of pages. I will admit that there were times where the action slowed while Lee brought the reader up to speed with what happened to all the characters since the end of the last book. Those sections weren't boring, just slow. And some of the international politics slowed things down a bit, but again, it wasn't a trudge. This book was nominated for several lower profile awards, but I would say it should have gotten more than it did.
