As good as the first one! (Would be totally incomprehensible without it. It's that sort of sequel.) The intertwining plots and painstakingly detailed worldbuilding add up to a marvelous and successful balancing act, and the mysterious aliens are menacing and creepy and yet ultimately harmonize with the complicated world. There are a few characters it's fun to hate, but the book does an unusually good job painting portraits of many multilayered antagonists all acting in the best interests of their understanding of the right thing.
