   The book is almost finished, and there haven't been any of those petty, messy incidents. Revenge is taken on the same day, and there haven't been any idiotic moments or major flaws. What I like most is that it consistently revolves around brotherhood, without any unnecessary subplots. It's a pure ensemble of men, and even the supporting characters are very well-developed. I absolutely love that! The second book is also fast-paced and doesn't drag at all. I think reading both books back-to-back would be incredibly enjoyable. This book is just letting its title and ratings hold it back!
