This book covers so much ground. I was invested in Amy and Wolgast's story chugging along, and then had to read about a whole new giant cast of characters, which threw me off this one for a bit. But eventually, as the storyline came together, everything picked up again, and I will be reading on to see how the storyline resolves.
