Lots to love here. The world building is incredibly lush, with customs, costumes, landscapes and architecture really vividly portrayed. The themes of language, faith and loyalty are interestingly played out, posing moral and ethical dilemmas for many of the characters. There were a few scenes that forced me out of the world - the presence of too much beauty and some dodgy decision making in the time of crisis. But a very solid extension of the series and a great set up for book 3.
