Similar to the first there is a decent amount of info dumping throughout that might have been incorporated in another way. However the characters take on a new level of depth and development. The series up to this point has done a really wonderful job exploring what is morally right, and the idea of balance. I'm incredibly excited to say the least to see what the third book will bring.
