Still a gripping story, pretty slow paced and not a heap of plot development compared to the first book. Lots of political intrigue and the character work is still excellent, but probably could've been a stronger sequel if we progressed further in the plot. I really enjoyed it but could easily see "nothing happened" being a valid critique.
