I struggled to read this, really enjoyed the first book but this felt disjointed. The author has clearly done a decent amount of research but I'm not sure the overall story was as strong as the first book. The new characters were interesting, the new setting in Africa and the wider historic view allade sense but the whole thing fell flat for me. I found the book horribly depressing which can't be a surprise
