I DEVOURED this book. It's 600+ pages, and I read it after work in 4 days. I finished it last night, decided I was too impatient for the hold on book 3 to come in, so I just bought it so I can start reading it tonight.
This book continues the story, picking up almost right after book 1 ends. After everything that was endured by our main characters, their experiences with nightmares, fear, panic, essentially PTSD are left bare on the page.
The book spends more time devoted to history and deeper world building. But it's done in a way to keep moving the plot forward. The author is descriptive without being verbose. The characters are relatable even though they are immortal faeries.
The book also does a good job of exploring toxic relationships, and how people (faeries?) change during a relationship, especially when traumatic events happen. If abusive relationships are a trigger for you, this book might be difficult.

That, and a TON of plot happened in this book.
I won't say it's the most beautifully written, nor is it a groundbreaking literary achievement, but this story captured my heart, and I look forward to reading it again.
