Liar's Legacy, by Taylor Stevens

Taylor Stevens's newest novel Liar's Legacy is a sequel to Liar's Paradox.  To save time, I will merely copy portions of my review of Liar's Paradox because my thoughts are pretty much the same:

"Stevens writes the action well.  The fighting and hunting scenes are breathless and exciting.  The weakness of [Liar's Legacy] is the rest of the story.  Why are these people hunting each other?  Who is Clare, really?  Who's calling the shots?  To the extent that these questions are answered, I never really cared.  Stevens falls into the same problem as a number of movies I've seen, where assassins are targeting each other but the motivations are murky.  That's the case here.  Stevens sheds little light on who these assassins have worked for, or who their targets have been.  We just know they are now targeting each other.  It just seems pointless and cartoonish. . . ."

That's pretty much it.  It's a pointless hide-and-seek chase on an international stage.  I wanted to like this more, but quickly got bored of the pointlessness of it.
