Just finished this book yesterday. Took about a day. It was rather nice but not as nice as the first one. I did not feel the rich texture and the layers that I felt were present in the first book. Felt a bit left wanting more of something which I can't really put my finger on. If it was to use a food analogy, I'd say it satisfied the hunger satisfactorily but was not as delicious as what I hoped. Still the pace of the book was wonderful.Alright, so. This book was more focused on Constantin Demiris, the Greek billionaire. He was raised from humble beginnings and had to work hard to rise in the world. His hunger was what drove him to succeed and become one of the richest and most powerful man in the world. He controls fleets of ships, aircrafts, properties around the world. Also owns oilfields, and under the table has control of officials, prime ministers and world leaders. This book looks into his dealings with the world and how Constantin is a person who remembers anyone who did him wrong and he pays them back a hundredfold. This is a double edged sword as he also treats people who has done him right well. For instance a lady who took him in when he was little, was anonymously given a large property.
After the incident with Noelle Page however he starts to become unraveled and becomes an increasingly manic person. This is essentially the story Constantine and his revenge on the memory of Noelle Page.
