The world building is incredible, somehow more captivating than the first book. However, the pacing was very slow. The events of the book span over 5 years and jump around to so many characters it was difficult to get invested into one of them. War is the essence of the book and I wish there had been a more compelling overarching plot. I found the first 30% and last 15% to be way too drawn out. Not sure if I will continue reading this trilogy.
