There were a few times when stakes were built up only for the resolution to be a bit underwhelming or too convenient. I get that's part of Bero's bit, but it's not just him. The courage the author showed by killing off Lan in book one hasn't carried forth. This second volume is a bit too precious with the characters, but there are definitely still a few shocks along the way. Overall if you enjoyed Jade City you'll likely enjoy Jade War as well.
