Palace of Glass is a fantastic entry in a series, adding moral complexities, mysterious plot developments, old faces and new, danger, and several extremely exciting payoffs. Alice continues to try to make her way through the strange new world of Readers and monsters that she's found herself in, but the events of the last book are forcing her to re-examine the status quo that she had previously simply accepted. This book flew by, and left me outraged that I had to wait for the fourth.
