I'm a huge fan of Compass Rose and was really excited to get into Sea Wolf. I can't say I think the second book is as good as the first but it was still a really enjoyable read and spent a lot fo time fleshing out the world.
I loved the character development over this book. Rose and Miranda's relationship is rocky, as it should be. They spent lot's of this book struggling to understand each other and slowly working out what there relationship can look like with each other. It also shows the crack's in Miranda's strength and makes her a fish out of water just like Rose this time around.
It introduces new elements to the world and plot that put a new light on the information given to us in the first book. I won't spoil any of it here but it was exciting to see how much thought the author has clearly put into this world.
My main issue with this book is it clearly is the middle one in a triology. It spend's most of it's time developing our key characters and explaining the world than it does on the plot. This makes the back end of the book very heavy on world building and the front very heavy on character development. Personally this is no major issue, a lot of middle books do this, but it does make it a slightly less sastifying read than Compass Rose.
