Two Dark Reigns (Three Dark Crowns, #3)

It took awhile for me to warm up to Three Dark Crowns, and One Dark Throne proved continuing was worth it. I was so eager for Two Dark Reigns to find out what happens next, and again it wasn't what I was expecting, yet it's so on brand it couldn't happen any other way. I think this one is even better than ODT because they're all working on separate things rather than trying to achieve the same goal for themselves. I didn't think it was slow at all.
