This sequel is tonally very different from Foundryside. It's much darker and gorier, and the stakes are much higher. 

While the first book was more of your typical heist novel with a cool magic system, this one is about a resurrected god and attempting to prevent his world domination. 

Foundryside had the ability to be read as a standalone, however this one, well let's just say I'm glad I waited for the finally to come out before I read it - if I had to wait for two years with that ending? No thanks

On a happier note, I loved seeing the casual relationship between Sancia and Ber that has clearly been developing in the three years since the first book ended. 

I'm interested to see how the final book concludes some of the plot points and character arcs. I'm also interested to see how long of a time jump will occur between books two and three - I hope only a short one, but from the blurb I suspect it will be a long time jump.
