In some ways this sequel was more exciting than the first book. The world becomes broader and whilst still somewhat simple in design, the new aspects are exciting to discover. Nothing out of this world or super unique mind you, just solid entertainment.
However. I was not a fan of how all the female characters had a boner for the main character. There's no other way to describe it. They all desired him. To me this seemed quite... stereotypical and outdated. All of them? Really? Come on!
Given that this was a lesser issue for me during the first book, I can't rate this instalment any higher. Maybe the third book will be somewhat better, but I'll keep my hopes now.
Besides that, great quick read. Finished it in two days just like the first book. Solid and fun listen.
