I finished this last night and fucking hell what a letdown. The Book That Wouldn't Burn was the first of Mark Lawrence's I read and I absolutely loved it, so I was really hyped to read this, but it completely dropped the ball on everything that made the first one good.

New characters and POVs are introduced that pretty much serve no purpose except to bloat half of the book with irrelevant backstory to an event we saw in book 1, and have extremely telegraphed "twists" that I saw from like chapter 2. The characters from book 1 have about 80% of their chapters filled with filler chase and fight sequences. The ending was ok I guess but ended up with everything pretty much in the same place as where book 1 ended. Pretty much nothing fucking happens: the book.

Pretty bummed out, will see if I'll read book 3 when it comes out.
