Maybe my expectations for this sequel were too high. I loved the first book so much, I wanted to love the second one as well. And there were aspects of this book I really loved. The characters are phenomenal. I was so happy to see Locke and Jean again, but the new characters that are introduced here are amazing too. I'm still in awe of the world building and the atmosphere. It’s so immersive, it feels like you’re right there with the protagonists. And it doesn’t get boring, I still want to know a lot more about the world and its wonders. But… I didn’t find the plot as intriguing as the lies of Locke Lamora. Loved the beginning/first part, but the whole time at sea was very predictable. And it felt so unnecessary in the end, just like a way too long filler to postpone the finale. Which was - although refreshing - a little disappointing as well. I still enjoyed the book a lot and will continue with the series.
