This book was pretty good for a sequel. The world building of tulan was at a degree and the aftermath of the events in the first was written well at a moderate pace. The change in character mindsets and personality was properly justified and relevant to the ongoing story. The plot twists and revelations were actually done great. It was unpredictable and rightfully changed the course of the story. 

The platonic relationships and the romance was when the author peeked. The povs of the characters during this, the dialouge was all written so beautifully. The backstories and the pasts were well thought out. The last few chapters set a good plot for the next book and leaves the reader thinking of all possibilities to the next story.

Overall, this was a good sequel. I’ve only given it this rating because it’s a sequel and the remaining story is still left. This book deserves praise but there’s a lot more the reader is yet to see, and that’s reserved for the third book. 
This current book was one of the author’s better works. It goes to show how the story matters more than the length. I hope we get to see more of this in the next book.
