The second book, Claw of the Conciliator, is the hardest slog with the most confusing ending (but is ultimately rewarding when it ‘clicks’).
However the third book, Sword of the Lictor, is the best in the series. So many of the best moments are in this book, as well as some of the most famous quotes.
For me, the masquerade ball at the Archon’s palace is the “buckle up” moment for the rest of the story.
For a real trip, restart book 1 immediately after finishing book 4: there is so much you will see know that you know what to look for.
