Book 2 is more about the ins and outs between royalty. Brothers torn between their father, Nahri pulled between them, the king, queen, and people of her heritage.
Compared to the first, the authors writing has matured. Conversations between characters have a better flow, descriptions of settings, objects have more details. I feel she really captured the essence of sibling rivalry. However, due to the change of focus, the pacing is a lot slower. It isn't until about 70% in where everything comes together and the action hits. Makes for a different, yet complimentary story. The 1st still my favorite of the two, but 2 was still exciting and has me wanting to read the 3rd.
