In would say this book was a fair bit worse than the first. 

Yun being the secondary baddie would've been more motivating if his wouldn't have been so anticlimactic. I'm also disappointed that Kyoshi didn't break through to him, with him sacrificing himself or something.

I definitely find myself wondering more about Kuruk and what exactly Yangchen did to cause the spirits to behave the way they did during his reincarnation cycle.

I would've enjoyed focusing on one set of characters instead of a kyoshi having so many acquaintances that travel around with her. I'm not sure what the purpose of the Flying Opera Company was since they were replaced with Jinpa until the last second of the book where they showed up to nearly all be casualties of Yun.
