I was afraid I wasn't going to like this novel as much of the first one because I've heard mixed things about the added point of view but I really enjoyed The Invasion of the Tearling! 
 It took me a little bit to get into it but every time I picked it back up I was compelled to push through and couldn't stop reading. 
 I love the politics that this series offers and the various people we get to experience them through. I really can't wait for the final book because the conclusion of this one left things off on the brink of some serious action.
