Of the first two books in the series, Patriots and Tyrants is definitely more challenging. It was, admittedly, a little more difficult to write for that reason. Knowing what Peter has done puts him in an awkward place, as he takes the role of anti-hero and struggles to come to terms with his actions. Still, I think it is a satisfying read, and well worth your time. If you like the first book, the second will thrill you even more.
