I had the same difficulties than the first volume : lots of name, lots of moving from places to places, and several cases intertwined that can feel confusing.
I cannot prevent myself from comparing it to The Goblin Emperor, which was better suited to my tastes and had, in my opinion, a better pacing in it narration. However, Thara Celehar drives the whole book by himself, I related strongly to some part of his character, and I love him immensely. I will definitely wait eagerly for the third book !

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.”
