I can't get over the details in these books.  The characters are all well written, the character development is so good to read as well.  While this book was a lot slower-paced I still found it interesting, learning about the world building and how the magic system works made up for it.  Having said that I didn't like it as much as the first book, though like the first book, nearing the end it got really intense; so much happened at the end I don't really know how to process it.  Overall I really like this series far.
