I really enjoyed the addition of Nassun (the daughter) as a point of view, which also really contextualizes the main character as someone who is fallible, can make mistakes, and has been deeply broken by an oppressive system but still pushes forward. The world continues to build on itself in interesting ways, and so far enjoying it! Excited to read the third.
