I enjoyed this book more than the first - the plot made more sense when it was mainly focused on the political maneuvering.

However, I still think there's a lot going on and it's kind of hard to keep track of who's qi is occupying a body at any particular moment. 

The setup for book 3 is intriguing, but since it won't be released until 2026, I'm not sure I'll remember enough plot to pick up book 3.
