Overall, I'd say this was a marked improvement over the first book. Again, I'm not sure if this is due in part to the improved emotions and storybeats of the narrative, or solely because of the narrators themselves, but regardless I definitely enjoyed this one more. I think the cast were better settled in this time around, both with the world and their characters, so the production as a whole benefited from that familiarity. I'm not fully sure why the production team decided to include 10 full pages of timeline and glossary at the end of the book, as I hardly think they benefit an audio as much as a text, and since many of the people and terms are described in the story as they are relevant, but I guess it wasn't detrimental to the whole. So, ultimately this production did what it needed to: transport me through its story and get me pumped up for the final entry.
