I enjoyed this one quite a lot more than the first of the series. The twists and turns of the multiple mysteries were intriguing, and I found this one far less depressing. I would love more romance, but I get why it is the way it is. 

Character development, World building

“It made me feel better, as if all problems were inherently solvable, as if no answer I chose would be wrong.”

“It was not, after all, so heavy that I could not carry it, and while it was unwise to hope the damage might miraculously be repaired, it was also unwise to forget that I had thought myself destroyed once before and been wrong.”
