This book is one of the best sequels to one of the best series I have ever read. I have read a lot of books like this one, I like this genre quite a lot. So let this really sink in, This book is magnificent. Honestly it's not a sequel, it's just a continuation of the first book; they are equally good. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book when it comes out. Nearly one thousand pages in the edition I read, but not one word made me think that it wasn't worth reading, or that it could have been shorter. All around masterpiece that I think will be easily surpassed by the next volume. 
 (view spoiler)[Still wondering about the title though, it's mentioned somewhere about a third of the way through, but, I can't figure out what it meant for the life of me. (hide spoiler)]
