3.5

As book 2 of 4, I think this does about what it sets out to. It's able to develop the large cast of characters and complex plot established in book 1 pretty well, and it also shakes things up dramatically in its conclusion to leave one wondering where the heck it's going.

I do have some criticisms, mainly  some persistent misogyny and one instance of extreme and otherwise unexpected transphobia. Another possible criticism is that the conclusion shakes things up too much, to the extent that a lot of things this books spends a lot of time developing are effectively washed away.

I'm willing to keep reading to see where this goes.
