A good follow up to The House of Blood and Earth, effectively explores characters further and expands the plot and world building (though not too much, worldbuilding is not a focus I would say), a typical thrilling/shocking end from Sarah.JMaas and I am anticipating enjoying the third installment even more! In comparison to the first book I did find myself a little less interested in the plot itself and the focus seemed to be on character relationships, some already established and some rushed into in this book in my opinion. Overall, enjoyable and if you're a fan of the authors other workds I would highly suggest you pick up the series or continue through this book! 
The first book of the series I found to be my favourite of her works. The plot was insanely interesting, a bit of a mystery to solve and complex characters to follow with great relationships, found family and of course Lusty romance!
Since this is an adult series there are more explicit topics explored, though most of this authors works would prepare you well for her adult novels.
Definitely recommend.
