Throne of Jade by Naomi Novik
2.5

2.5 stars 

I liked the concept of this book, i just did not like the structure.
it takes place after the first, but in this book the characters are traveling to China on a diplomatic mission. 

I found that 75% of the book was just traveling to China , while the last 25 % was diplomatic intrigue. 
I wish this was switched as i found all the traveling boring and the last 25 % rushed. 

I hope that the next book is more interesting, as if this wasn't an audiobook i would have DNF the series.
