Like the first one, this book was okay. I didn’t love it, and at times I was very annoyed at it, but I didn’t hate it. I did start to like the characters a little better in this one than the first one, especially at the end, but I still wasn’t super invested in what happened to them besides a few and honestly thought the character development was a little flat.
I noticed too the ways that some of the main characters (namely the Ta’ans) were operating out of an honor/shame culture, which I found interesting but also their decisions frustrated me. But I appreciated the diversity of characters and there were still some important themes regarding ethics and social issues.
