The narrative heightens its melodrama, with lethal confrontations arriving so relentlessly that they dull their own impact. Curiosity persists in the overarching story arcs and the enigmatic forces moving behind the scenes, but the individual revenge plots feel hollow because the surviving characters inspire little sympathy. As the middle volume of the trilogy, the novel bears the burden of transition—bridging the audacity of New Moon with the resolution still to come—yet the emotional stakes erode under repetition. 3/5 stars.
